'...beyond perspective... the discovery of the cosmos is a new dimension, it is infinity, so I make a hole in this canvas, which was at the basis of all the arts and I have created an infinite dimension... the idea is precisely that, it is a new dimension corresponding to the cosmos... The hole is, precisely, creating this void behind there... Einsteins discovery of the cosmos is the infinite dimension, without end. And so here we have: foreground, middleground and background... to go farther what do I have to do?... I make holes, infinity passes through them, light passes through them, there is no need to paint (quoted in Enrico Crispolti, 'Spatialism and Informel. The Fifties' in Lucio Fontana, exh. cat., Rome, Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome 1998, p. 146).
