There is always a wake, but one does not know the route in advance. You do not always have to think in order to write. You write better in the sleep of consciousness. Poetry knows it. And psychoanalysis encourages us to signify the apparent inconsistency for a story other than repetition. Painting also has its history, its stories. Its symbolic revolutions. Its names and its imposing and imposed references. For me, painting really made sense. when literary writing made me understand that there is no need to run after words that are absent. viewed paintings fr silence but who spoke to me of a future to seize. Painting is physical, psychic. It's sport. It engages the body and the mind. We have to create a vacuum. So concentrating less than distracting the logic of the representation. You have to be unconscious to paint. The imagination is so surprising. But it is above all the time of the clock that disappears. I think I paint from as far back as the world is old. Because our ancestors are us. It is the past that remembers the present we are living. Modernity is then just another form of prehistory. "Kogles
