« Pour rendre compte de la complexité de l'espace atlanien, il ne suffit pas de citer, de se référer aux topologies classiques. Il s'agit ici du topos du sensible, celui de la méditation, de la vision intérieure, de la quête ; celui de l'envers du monde, de l'autre côté atlanien. » (Jacques Polieri, Atlan. Catalogue raisonné de l'œuvre complet, Paris, 1996, p.309)
