專家說明

Man has always attempted to double himself as a means of attaining self-knowledge. The recognition of one’s own image in a pool of water - like recognizing oneself in a mirror - was perhaps one of the first real hallucinations that man experienced. Part of man’s mind has always remained attached to that reproduction of himself. With the passage of time, this doubling, this process of duplication, came to be used in ways that were ever more systematic and convincing. The mind created representation on the basis of the reflection of the self; and art has become one form of this representation(M. Pistoletto, Le ultime parole famose, Turin 1967).
