Le saut dans le vide
Yves Klein, Le saut dans le vide, 1960
“un homme dans l’espace! le peintre de l’espace se jette dans le vide!?
This photograph shows Klein jumping off a wall, arms outstretched, towards the pavement. Klein used the photograph as evidence of his ability to undertake unaided lunar travel. In fact, “Saut dans le vide” was published as part of a broadside on the part of Klein (the “artist of space”) denouncing NASA’s own lunar expeditions as hubris and folly.
