The scientific theory draws the limits of knowledge, while the artistic theory represents an invitation to cross its border. Science recognizes metaphysics and admits its possibility, mainly in terms of the structure of space and time. I may consider Giorgio de Chirico as a pseudo-anti-realist, dealing with a segmented spatial structure. However, I attribute a reality to the metaphysical spatial structure, and metaphysically tackle the co-existence of the being with itself.
