« Caspar David Friedrich (painter) What do they look at, this man dressed in black, this monk facing the sea or this man and woman embarked on a sailboat that will take them elsewhere, an elsewhere they do not know but to which they aspire just like this young woman facing an open window? They turn their backs on us and we, the spectators of the paintings, are called to see what they are looking at. No, they do not look, they contemplate, and this by this very invite us to contemplation: "Close the eye of your body to first see your painting with the eye of the mind". »

« To seek to be right is to want to be right of the other, it is to snatch him: that he is immobilized, petrified, that he remains speechless before the power of your argument, that he is prevented, like a boat boarded, from continuing his own crossing, uncertain. I don't dispute theories. I prefer to navigate their margins. »
