Yves Klein's Leap

Yves Klein was a pop minimalist genius.

In 1960 he staged the photo SAUT DANS LE VIDE or LEAP INTO THE VOID from a rooftop in the Paris suburb of Fontenay-aux-Roses.

His friends caught him in a tarp.

The photo was then published in a fake newspaper at Paris news kiosks.

I love Yves Klein.

He was not scared of the void.

At least as an illusion.
