Note du spécialiste

 ‘[The deliberate use of brilliant white creates a current] between the work and the spectator and fill[s] the space between them. This space cannot be quantified because the spatial properties of the work are irrational - the work "as space" is irrational'
(O. Piene, quoted in 'Paths to Paradise' (1961), in O. Piene and H. Mack (eds.), zero, Cambridge 1973, p. 64).
