Catalogue Note
"...la monocromia è il rimando alla forma musicale della fuga. È la peculiarità del suo fare: i valori formali funzionano come quelli di una variazione musicale per logica contrappuntistica. Come nel repertorio musicale c'è l'adozione di un unico tema, di procedimenti ritmici, armonici, timbrici, dinamici; e la ripetizione costante simmetrica e asimmetrica. Nulla è infinito se non la successione di cose finite, e niente è davvero niente. Spazio e tempo i pedali di Castellani: e si tratta di un tempo fuori dal tempo, non il tempo che si è fermato, piuttosto un tempo libero e intenso come quello di Bach o della poesia di Eliot."
