Note du spécialiste

“I wish that I am able to manipulate these polka dots so that I can measure the infinitude of the universe from where I am. How deep are the secrets of the universes? Beyond the edge of the infinite universe, is there more infinity? I observe these phenomenon, and I want to examine this aspect of my own life. My life is a dot - it is a dot amongst hundreds of millions of atoms. I need to use an astronomical number of dots to weave a pale and empty void of a net. From here and now, it declares the obliteration of the self, the others, and everything in the universe” -Yayoi Kusama
