The extreme dry and thin but emotional unique artistic images in part of Giacometti's works made the audience produce two contradictory feelings in their hearts at the same time. Slender images didn't seem to take up any space. However, they also existed in the real three-dimensional world. Giacometti created the images, meanwhile, he conveyed a non-space (not occupied any position on the concept of space) information. The images in the hearts of the audience seem as if real or imaginary. If we recognized the existence of the images that as small as dry twigs, we would have the feelings that they wouldn't occupy any space; if we denied its existence, the artist showed the images clearly in front of us. This sense of existence was demonstrated by Sartre in his theory of the strong visual evidence. However, the Zen re-examined Giacometti space in a dynamic way. Moreover, it showed its non-space characters in the future livings of the humans in two different presentations. With the steadily improved technology of biotechnology and electronic, humans will completely lose their own real space, and they will live in the fullest sense of Health on the cyber world (that is, Giacometti space). Another presentation is after the period of the controlled skills by the prospective Giacometti human space (that is, the space in which we present), and humans will continue to live in self-space that still exists in the world.
