‘Schifano’s weapon is the gaze, an eye-lens, a mental camera. He doesn't see a thing alone but sees it 'framed', he sees it 'angled', that is, he considers the world-of-life behind a screen, which is objective but ends up giving an 'abstract' imprint to the last mundane fragments.’
(Maurizio Fagiolo Dell’Arco, Rapporto 60, pp. 151-152)
