Website about the artist, wikth many works online
The Six Senses (I Sei Sensi). 1973; Boetti
I always find myself talking about the notion of double, which […] is present in all my work. The truth is that it is a natural reality: it is incontrovertible that a cell splits in two, then in four and so on; that we have two legs, two arms and two eyes and so on; that mirrors double images; that Man has based his existence on a series of binary models, including computers; that the speech is based on couples of opposed terms […]. It is evident then that the notion of couple is one of the fundamental archetypes of our culture […]. (A. Boetti, 1988)
