'La coquille de l’escargot, comme celle de tous les autres animaux que [Merz] a utilisés dans son art [...] est une forme naturellement évoluée. Elle croît selon une séquence numérique d’expansion : 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8… et (potentiellement) jusqu’à l’infini, chaque nombre étant la somme ou la résolution des deux précédents. On retrouve fréquemment dans la nature cette séquence mathématique quasi-magique qui porte le nom de 'séquence de Fibonacci'. En effet, c’est le mathématicien italien Leonardo Fibonacci qui l’a observée pour la première fois dans la nature en 1202. Dès 1970, la séquence de Fibonacci est devenue le principe directeur d’une grande partie du travail de Merz.'

''In addition to making its own house - one which it can travel with - the snail’s shell, like that of all the other animals that [Merz] has made use of in his art [...] is a naturally evolved form that grows in accordance with a numerical sequence of expansion, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 onwards (potentially) to infinity. This sequence, in which each number is the sum or resolution of the previous two, is a ‘magical’ mathematical sequence of expansion, often found in nature and known as the 'Fibonacci Sequence' ever since it was first discerned by the Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci in 1202. From around 1970 onwards, the Fibonacci Series also became a guiding principle for the expansive logic of much of Merz’s art.'
