This work is registered in the Archivio Alighiero Boetti, Rome, under no. 2722.

Tutto is the sum of all human experiences and things, while nevertheless remaining only a section cut from the large whole that is the world. Tutto is the language of the world, forms and colours, languages and signs. Tutto stands for the impossibility of consciously perceiving everything visible. Tutto links the organic to the inorganic world. Tutto is the order in disorder and the disorder in order. Tutto is the symbolic unity of body and mind, the connection of East and West, South and North. Tutto is a symbol for unlimited human creativity. Tutto is the fragment and the multiplicity of the world. Tutto is the structure of both macrocosm and microcosm.'
(Rolf Lauter, Boetti, exh. cat., Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt Am Main, 1998, p. 93).
