In a return to this line of thought the practice of Ariel Reichman (1979) work Dear Felix, I am sorry but we are just too scared to fly (2013),created in homage to Felix Gonzalez Torres, was also found mirrored Franco Vaccari’s (1936) Esposizione in tempo reale n° 19, Codemondo,(Venice Biennale 1980).
