Note du spécialiste

’It’s like when I am in an airplane cabin and overhear two conversations: one says something and another one says something else. I could not have thought up those phrases on my own, and I respond to it by connecting one to the other, taking both out of their own context, and by making them a part of my imagination’

(J. Baldessari, quoted in C. van Bruggen, John Baldessari, New York 1990, p. 19).
