"Le ricerche degli anni '60 comportavano rigore geometrico e maggiore era il perfezionismo tecnico, migliore il risultato dell'indagine. Ma io ho sempre abuto una doppia natura: intuita una regola per estrinsecare una ricerca, subito dopo la destituivo per vedere cosa succedeva 'al di là'. Cioè codificata una programmazione, cercavo come dato insostituibile l'imponderabile: ciò che sfuggendo alle regole desse una dimensione all'operare oltre determinazione precostituita".

"The investigations of the '60s called for geometric rigour and the greater the technical perfection, the more successful the investigation. But I have always had a dual nature: having intuited a rule in order to extract an investigation, I would dismiss it immediately afterwards to see what happened 'beyond'. Having thus codified a method, I was seeking the imponderable as an irreplaceable fact: something which, in defying the rules, would give a dimension to the process beyond a pre-established determination".
