Artist Statement:
“...Ever since I was a child,
I have had the tendency to
create a fictitious world
around me, to surround myself
with friends and acquaintances
who never existed. ( I don’t
know, of course, if they
didn’t really exist or if it
is me who doesn’t exist. On
such matters, as in all
others, one shouldn’t be
dogmatic.) Ever since I became
aware of the thing that I call
self, I can remember with
mental precision, the figures,
the movements, the character
and the history of several
fictitious people who were, to
me, as visible and mine as
those things which we, perhaps
abusively, call real life.
This tendency, which exists
since I realized that I was a
self, has always been with me,
modifying slightly the kind of
music it uses to bewitch me
but never altering its manner
of bewitching.”
There’s no need to explain
something which, by its
nature, is simple and
intuitively understandable. It
happens, however, that human
stupidity is great while human
kindness is not worthy of
note.
