"Works such as an empty balcony were dealing with the absence of the human figure. But I wanted to make a work that stands between two positions-between doing nothing and watching, and passing by and being watched." (Juan Muñoz quoted in Juan Muñoz, Monologues & Dialogues, exh. cat., Palacio Velázquez, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid 1996, p. 64).
