Narrow Bust, 1954
"I had just experienced in reverse what I had felt some months earlier in front of living beings. At that time I was beginning to see heads in the void, in the space which surrounds them. The first time that I saw the head I was looking at become fixed, immobilized definitively in a moment in time, I shook with terror as never before in my life and a cold sweat ran down my back. What I was looking at was no longer a living head, but an object like any other, no, different, not like any other object, but like something which was alive and dead at the same time."
