GERMINAZIONE
“An image put forward by Giuseppe Penone in 1968 found a specific realisation on the bed of a stream, where the body of man indicates the measure of space. Today we see that other forms and other figures render the human presence visible when it follows the trace of trees, branches and stones. Man, water, wind and forest are once more combined: water softens the earth that accommodates the body; wind hardens the earth that preserves its imprint”.
(Laurent Busine in the catalogue for “Giuseppe Penone: Germinazione”, 2013)
