"In Klein's photographs, the facades of the buildings, the gestures of passers-by, the figures of the statues, the images of advertising, the writings on the signs, the reflections in the shop windows, the children's games, the television screens, the masses of fans, they overlap in an indistinct magma without any pause, without any interruption because the form of living now merges instantly and irremediably with its representation, in a homogenizing circularity that literally leaves no room for the differences that are the concreteness of life. Also in this volume, personally laid out by Klein like the previous ones, the images follow one another uninterruptedly without any white space, one following the other from beginning to end, without any difference in format and tone, with the same loud intense scream."—Translated from the Italian introduction by Giovanni Chiaramonte, editor of the "Fotografia" series.
