Words from Piero Manzoni

From For the Discovery of a Zone of Images (1957) by Piero Manzoni, the man who brought us Artist's Shit (pictured above):
"...subjective invention is the only means of discovering objective reality, the only means that gives us the possibility of communication between men...We absolutely cannot consider the picture as a space onto which to project our mental sceneography. It is the area of freedom in which we search for the discovery of our first images.
Images which are as absolute as possible, which cannot be valued for that which they record, explain and express, but only for that which they are to be."
