J’aurais envie de répondre comme Warhol : « …I realized that everything I was doing must have been Death. » La mort m’obsède, mais je ne peux pas dire qu’elle « m’intéresse ». J’aime cette histoire de Freud qui raconte qu’il y a longtemps, un roi britannique, atterré par la mort de sa femme, la fit transportée dans tout le royaume.

Beaucoup d’œuvres sont des monuments qui se cachent.
