A MYSTIQUE
It’s true, I’m much less passionate about images and objects.
At least not in the same way. The truth is that I find that there is far too much of both.
At the moment, I am much more attracted to a mystique.
But, you may ask, what is it?
Actually, I’m not quite sure I know.
And that is precisely what inspires me.
The main thing is to escape a little from the capitalist diktat.
Because a mystique cannot be counted, cannot be measured, cannot be quantified, sold or bought. It has no efficiency. It is mysterious, secret, uncertain, not really from here, not from elsewhere, not outdated, not in the loop. It is just a concept, an empty screen to invest with its own representations.
It is bigger than the world, bigger than death. It has neither beginning nor end.
It can also slip into images and objects, giving them other balances. A breath that makes me love them again.
