... I have worked a great deal on the concept of order and disorder: disrupting order or imposing order on certain types of disorder, or even presenting visual disorder that in fact represented mental order... Faced with these seemingly antithetical pairs of concepts, I think that everything contains its opposite, so preferably the approach should be to reset the concepts, to spread them out, to explain them; just as one can unfold a sheet of paper, so one can create order and disorder in a pair or a class of concepts, without ever favouring one of the two opposing terms, but on the contrary always seeking the one in the other: order in disorder, the natural in the artificial, shadow in light and vice-versa.
