Catalogue Note
"Penone propone una dettagliata e sistematica lettura fotografica del proprio corpo. La riflessione, che verte come in molti suoi lavori, sul rapporto tra l'individuo vivente e l'ambiente esterno che lo circonda e lo accoglie, individua nell'epidermide umana, la superficie corporale dell'io, che diventa linea di confine tra ciò che è dentro e ciò che è fuori, ma è anche trait d'union che, grazie ai suoi organi sensori, mette in reciproco dialogo il corpo e l'ambiente." (Franco Mello, Giuseppe Penone, Svolgere la propria pelle, Torino, 1971)
