Yves Klein, Harry Shunk, Janos Kender - Leap into the Void, 1960The leap into the void is sometimes read as a Buddhist phrase about enlightenment, about embracing emptiness that is not lack as it seems to westerners, but letting go of the finite and material, embracing limitlessness, transcendence, freedom, enlightenment. “Come with me into the void!’ wrote Klein, “You who like me, dream / of that wonderful void / That absolute love…”
—Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost
