Note du spécialiste

“I kept stripes because it was a sign, very easy to see and to play [with],’ Buren has explained, ‘I was certainly not thinking I would keep that for so long, but little by little, I was still working with it 50 years later. I cannot say it is the same, but I use it and it’s a reason I invented a term, which I call ‘visual tool.’ It’s not only something you can recognize; it’s also something I can use to change an environment.”
