STATEMENT
I want a picture free of description, with no message, with no explications. It's material presence, it's pictural space, are there to create a field of exchange with the viewer, outside the verbal world, within the immediate visible. The image that opens relates to the possible (or hidden) images of the spectator's memory or desire. The invisible part of the picture dwells in the eyes of the viewer.
