....."Ironic, defiant, ceremonious and tender, Giacometti sees empty space everywhere.... Between things as between men, the bridges are broken, and emptiness seeps in everywhere, every creature concealing his own. Giacometti became a sculptor because he was obsessed by vacuum."...." What he tries to convey are his internal feelings, the boundless void enclosing him to the storm. Giacometti is a sculptor because he carries his vacuum along with him, as a snail its shell, because he wants to retain his awareness of all its facets and dimensions."....."The street is deserted in the sunshine, but in the midst of this emptiness, a figure suddenly appears. The sculpture creates vacuum, starting from plenum."..."For this is the essence of the whole problem; vacuum will forever precede the beings who inhabit it, if it is first enclosed within walls."
