"Robert Musil has undoubtedly inspired Pevernagie's Man without Qualities. By denying any physical presence of the character and leaving simply dress evidence, the artist gives us a reproduction of the ground zero of the mind. Indeed, his anti-hero has decided to make tabula rasa and get rid of all acquired alleged qualities.
In his artistic work Pevernagie often claims space for reflection, time for new oxygen, recovery of spiritual regeneration and intervals for active awareness aimed at calling matters into question." (Philip Cowood)
