Opera Aperta - Umberto Eco

This picture was taken in the installation "Infinity Mirror Room - Phalli's Field" (1965 - Yayoi Kusama), at the "Mirrored Years" exhibition in the Boymans van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam 2008.


Umberto Eco is an Italian philosopher and novelist.
Opera Aperta was first published in 1962. The book was translated to English in 1989 as The Open Work.

"I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed."
