Catalogue Note

"...Castellani focuses his attention on shadow in order to highlight the fact that, according to the logic of artistic language, one element is as valid as another, and the optimal approach aims at presenting both and arranging them according to every logically conceivable combination."

 

(Germano Celant, 'Behind the Picture: Enrico Castellani' in: Exhibition Catalogue, Milan, Fondazione Prada, Enrico Castellani, 2001, p. 12)
