"I went through the history of art without looking for it because the history already existed in me, the rest did so at the next subway stop or at the gate of the next airport."
I'm tired of repeating my obsessions on the wall, even for today I'm afraid I won't be able to wash my hands and eyes anymore. There is no more light around, or perhaps it is so much that I can no longer see you. You who speak to me in the shadows and try to hide despite the silence and indifference of the world have left your profile on that blue crystal goblet that you asked me to draw every evening.
