From what remains of his son’s “mecano”, bit of strings and small stones, adhesive, scissors and his camera, he works out tiny models, for which he makes lightenings “to look more real”, and then he takes pictures, day after day, of the various scenes of his own small theatre. He almost always features a cut-out of himself in his black and white images – ‘”confronting the meanings and absurdities of the human condition in stark, dream-like landscapes and situations.”
“J’ai, un jour, pris conscience que les situations que je ne vivrai pas, les rêves que je ne ferai pas sont innombrables.Il n’y a pas de raison à se résigner à cet état des choses.
Aussi, je confierai mon effigie à des artistes et je leur demanderai d’intégrer cette image dans leurs oeuvres pour que soit conservé le souvenir de cette vie imaginaire.“
