“Zone riflesse s’intitolano molte di queste prime “intersuperfici”: aree di complicazione relazionale, nelle quali l’immagine si fa dispositivo che attiva, nella sua fisicità, un pensiero di spazio, al confluire di determinazione razionale e risultante organica. Una visione che non si risolve mai nella pura dimensione percettiva, ma la esplora come indice di una complessità che viene appunto da definire fenomenologica.”

 “Zone riflesse was the title for many of these early “intersurfaces”: areas of relational complication in which the image functions as a device that activates, in its physicality, an idea of space where rational determination and organic result converge. A vision that never turns into the pure perceptive dimension, but rather explores it as an index of a complexity that he came to define as phenomenological.”
