The exhibition Getting closer to Pauli is derived from a quote she discovered by Nobel Prize winning physicist, Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958, Zurich), which he wrote in a letter to a colleague concerning the then recent electron discovery and his tribulations over its unraveling. Pauli writes: 'If I put a hand over my left eye, I see a particle. If I put a hand over my right one, I see a wave. If I open both eyes, I go mad'. Van Sonsbeeck proffers the sentence as an intriguing metaphor for life and art, for the things that cannot be described in one single image, and the impossibility of describing the multiple images that are seen all at once..."
