Ivo Michiels wrote about the realization of Rêve de Möbius in his publication  Luister hoe dit beeld hoe die lijn hoe die kleur hoe dit vlak luister (Antwerp: Soethoudt, 1979), a collection of the artist's writings about art.

Collaborations are important to Jef Verheyen.

In 1962 he cements his friendship with Lucio

Fontana with this work. Verheyen paints the blue

background and Fontana adds the perforations as

a performance. This collaboration embodies their

shared views on the activation of space. ‘Fontana’s

spatialism drilled through the dimensions. His fifth

dimension broke the boundaries, he opened up

the path to infinity,’ writes Verheyen. The title of

this work is a reference to the endless Möbius strip.

This looped strip symbolises the harmony between

two artistic approaches and their shared dream of

infinite freedom.
