Since my childhood I was always busy cutting and pasting texts and images from magazines and newspapers. And it's one of those aspect that I developed in my professional life. Now I make collage- books, that can be read as visual, associative poems.
The patches are figments without (or little) chronology. It's like our thoughts works... one thought brings us to another. From branch to branch.
I always start from existing photo books, which I use as a coat rack to hang my images or concepts.
I always foresee my books of a 'new skin.' And by that I mean that I also edit the cover, in the same line of the internals. The cover of ' Vulnerable ' is completely taken care of with (small torn off pieces) paper tape.

VULNERABLE

2015 - 2016
Sometimes you have to remind yourself why you're here again
So time for reflection
In a sobering conversation
with myself
-What would happen now if I leave everything behind me?-
No small talk issue
No holds barred
My everything should be there
A biological necessity
On the dark edges of life
with humor
Against the fashion of the time
Getting a step closer to my ideals
Step by step
With a big smile
One large children's playground
One great adventure
Look at your own risk
Curiosity is the key to an instensive life
and
I am a absorber
Observer of the reality
With no plan of action
The plan is to have no plan
The most beautiful things arise accidentally
My work is inspired by an ongoing
process of accumulating, interpreting
and re-interpreting my archive of
images, a broken and fragmented memory which I try to fix.
Or lumps adhesives as witness of this time
The curating of today and tomorrow
The best way to predict the future
is to invent it
BOOM! TIMPANI PERCUSSION
TIME
TO
UNFOLD
A NEW
PHILOSOPHY
Rather than to pursue a State
of eternal parmanentie
the sacral space seems to develop
into a process
Focus
in focus
Lessons from
forgotten forget
forget forgotten
Say one and do the other
At the crossroads of art and science
From imagination to ideology
On the predominant cosmic rhythm
From 'I have' to 'I am'
It says: I am, we are
and everything is movement
As a dancing summer breeze
That leaves deep scars
Your inside out
The power of the seemingly impossible
is seeing the mud in the unusable
and dragging it out
Because appearances are deceptive
and
so much is unknown.
The core is; What do I see when I look?
Unite reason with form
and you get imagination
Separates them and you creates monsters.
I love to subject myself to experiments
In search of fire
Looking for something that is just within reach
Sometimes fate leads you, and you should follow
Previously, I lived
Now I live
in a still life
My work is my life
and vice versa
So what?
So what?
In everything I do
I am
'I'
as I am
My work is
scraped
bare
and restructured
It makes a kind of space for the viewer
The balder the better
The fundamental principles of the philosopher
Always on the go
between
avant garde
and
conservatism
The naked truth:
We are not sexually liberated, at all
-You are not a traitor to your own sex when you go out to do research-
The elasticity of perversity
Checked
The last words
I go
Re
incarnate
NOW
Get up and walk!
