“Archivio o analisi o semplicemente racconto, il libro attraverso una sequenza ininterrotta di piccole fotografie presenta lo sviluppo del corpo dell’artista. Con la sovrapposizione di una piccola piastra di vetro registra il confine del proprio corpo con l’intenzione di entrare in dialogo con la propria pelle (...).” (Maffei 2007)
