‘…in these sculptures I sense the discovery and the drama of technological exploration and its powers. We knew we could put man in a position to destroy himself and the entire world. I interpret my surface erosions and irregularities as symbols of the destructive impulse. I think this drama of erosion captures the sense of foreboding, of a certain anxiety about the course of events at that time in our history. I wanted to suggest that the misuse of our technology could destroy mankind. Man can make ultimate war today just sitting at a table, pushing buttons, as we know so well. The situation creates a sense of aggravated discomfort’ (Pomodoro quoted in S. Hunter, ‘Monuments and Anti-monuments’, in F. Gualdoni (ed.), Arnaldo Pomodoro, Catalogoragionato della scultura, Milan, 2007, 57-58).
