Catalogue Note
"Once a work is completed, it must impress me and compensate for the energy I spent to make it. Such a work can be defined as "anti-entropic", and contradicts the "second principle of thermodynamics". In this way the work deals with the issue of death and immortality of the body, without dangerously delegating it to science and scientists." (the artist cited in: Exhibition Catalogue, Rome, MAXXI, Gino De Dominicis, 2010)
