"THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR ME WAS THE INTEGRATION OF ILLUSION WITH REALITY. THE MATERIAL THING WAS AN ILLUSION — THE WINDOW THAT INVITED TO ENTER. IT WAS POSSIBLE TO SHOW THAT WHAT WE WERE USED TO AND WHAT IS NORMAL TO TAKE FOR AN IMAGE IS NOT ADEQUATE. WHAT IS SEEN BY US IS A FICTION, ILLUSION: BUT IT’S UNCLEAR, IN WHAT MEASURE IS HAS ANY RELATION TO WHAT WE CAL REALITY."
