Michelangelo Pistoletto

«[…] Divisione e moltiplicazione dello specchio sprang ideally from the Stanze: the end mirror was the sole element which was not reflected and so remained single, not double. How to relieve this solitude.

When I cut it into parts, the number two existed; that is, I effected a division upon the single and then had the duplication. Putting these two mirrors at an angle and moving them, on mirror reflects the other and an infinite numbers of mirrors is created”.
