“The use of words is another way of being human…These words give me a sense of reality; they represent an acceptance of our presence. For example, the work Che Fare (What is to be Done?) would appear to express a self-limit yet it is also strangely real. It originates from an observation of children playing and how they often repeat the words “che fare”. It represents awareness of the centrality of a simple question.” Mario Merz in conversation with Danilo Eccher, exhibition catalogue, Buenos Aires, Fundacion Proa, 2003, p. 25
