- Giulio Paolini - L'altra Figura: The heads are turned slightly at an angle to the body, their faces turned to reflect each other precisely. This slightly sideways glance lends a degree of animation to what would otherwise be a static mirroring. It is as if they have both just turned to catch the other's gaze; perhaps it is the dramatic incident that has just occurred between them. On the floor surrounding the two plinths is the manifest evidence of a minor disaster. The two faces may represent i) two separate individuals; or ii) two separate faces on the same individual (how many different ways can you look at a single loss?)
- Tracey Emin (confessional art - 'Exorcism of the last painting I ever made')
