Giuseppe Penone


What most intrigues me, a constant concern of my poetic vision, is the relationship between the real time of growth and the personal time of 'flaying'. The curiosity of discovering a new tree, and hence a new story, every time, and the stimulus in this sense that comes to me from the imaginative quality of every door, table, window, or board - all of which contain the image of a tree - explain the motivation and urgency of my recourse to this kind of operation, which is not repetition, but a new adventure every time.
(Quoted in Celant, p.55.)
