So, What I mean by exposure is the fact of arriving at the formal result which I consider as a space of seducdon, and at the same dme to show all the process which brings to this space of seducdon.(…)At the same dme, since two years, my researches brought me to quesdon our vision of the abstracdon via the use of marks in the modern art history and the contemporary as well as in the African or South American tradidonal art, tradidonal sociedes using powerful psychotropics.For some of them, the use in a ritual way in the taking of powerful psychotropics provoke abstract visions which are retranscribed in the art of these sociedes (tapestries, braids, costumes, architectures, others). So, the used forms are somedmes very close to those appeared with the modern art and undl today. "Presse mappe I Seite 82
