Catalogue Note
Io sono arrivato ai quadri specchianti qualche anno prima di arrivare sulla luna. Queste cose succedevano negli anni Sessanta, e così adesso stiamo andando avanti guardando indietro o, se si preferisce, all’indietro guardando avanti. È la profezia dello specchio che si avvera."
(Michelangelo Pistoletto, Anima, 1983)
I came up with the mirror-paintings a few years before the moon landings. These things happened in the Sixties and so now we move forward looking back, or if you prefer, we move backwards looking forward.
It is the prophecy of the mirror coming true."
