But I believe above all that I wanted to build the palace of my memory, because my memory is my only homeland.

Art really is something very difficult. It is difficult to make, and it is sometimes difficult for the viewer to understand. It is difficult to work out what is art and what is not art.

I never see a forest that does not bear a mark or a sign of history.

If I do something that depresses, it's not because I'm depressed, but because political life and history is depressing.

What does the artist do? He draws connections. He ties the invisible threads between things. He dives into history, be it the history of mankind, the geological history of the Earth or the beginning and end of the manifest cosmos.

I might have been born into a very literal sense of chaos, but in fact that state is true of all of us.

I am of the opinion that there are artists and non-artists. I think that this is the way it always was and always will be. I do not believe that we are in the center of the world. It is possible that there are gods who do not relate to human. As an artist, I believe that it is possible to depict these forces.
