Collaborations are important to Jef Verheyen.
In 1962 he cements his friendship with Lucio
Fontana with this work. Verheyen paints the blue
background and Fontana adds the perforations as
a performance. This collaboration embodies their
shared views on the activation of space. ‘Fontana’s
spatialism drilled through the dimensions. His fifth
dimension broke the boundaries, he opened up
the path to infinity,’ writes Verheyen. The title of
this work is a reference to the endless Möbius strip.
This looped strip symbolises the harmony between
two artistic approaches and their shared dream of
infinite freedom.
