Quote from Parkett
“Ernesto Neto views himself as an illegal street vendor from Rio de Janeiro—a typical product of the underground economy exacerbated by the social marginalization attendant on inflated capitalist globalization. To evade state repression, street vendors display their merchandise on blankets that they pack up and swiftly take away the minute they spot trouble. Similarly, Neto works with the portability of large dimensions; his project, so he says, is carried around ‘inside small eggs, like culture in the time space of the social body.’”
