« [58 secondes] d'existence... passées avec un morceau de cire, à côté de mutations enregistrées par un morceau de cire et provoquées par une mèche minutée. La cire est la substance qui se façonne, se moule, recueille les empreintes de ceux qui la touchent, ce sont les négatifs des mains qui la façonnent. Elle contient en elle la succession des images exprimées au fil du temps. C'est un bloc de cire qui façonne continuellement nos pensées, et ce bloc de cire est la mémoire de notre expérience. Si la mémoire ne rétrécissait pas autant le temps vécu ou si nous étions si présents, prêts à saisir et à comprendre le souvenir du temps passé à faire une chose, il serait incompréhensible de la répéter en essayant simplement de saisir, de se souvenir, du temps passé à la faire ». - Giuseppe Penone 1969
''[58 seconds] of existence…spent with a piece of wax, alongside the mutations recorded by a piece of wax and caused by a timed fuse. Wax is the substance that shapes itself, molds itself, collects the imprints of those who touch it, the negatives of the hands that shape it. It encloses within itself the succession of images it has expressed from time to time. It is a block of wax that continuously shapes our thoughts, and a block of wax is the memory of our experience. If memory did not shrink the experienced time to such an extent or if we were so present, ready to grasp and understand the memory of the time spent doing a thing, it would be incomprehensible to repeat it in a mere attempt to grasp, to remember, the amount of time spent doing it.'' - Giuseppe Penone 1969
