Lot Essay

"There is just a tendency to become formalist. It is dangerous to make a piece, and then to try and make endless variations of it. In order to make it interesting, you have to put yourself in a position to say it is the last, one, and to destroy it." (Juan Muoz in: L. Neri and S. watson, 'Everything that's interesting is new', Ostfildern-Ruit, p. 208.)
