"(...) l'artiste y construit chaque page à la manière d'une de ses sculptures: quatre images carrées d'un galet posé sur un socle carré lui-même posé sur un plancher; sans intervalles entre elles, avec d'intéressants effets de perspective. Cela s'explique par le fait qu'à la différence des pages conçues spécialement pour le Xerox Book, ce livre documente une installation dans une galerie, réalisée en hommage à Robert Smithson, décédé peu avant." (Anne Moeglin-Delcroix)
