"If you look at my children and once laid your gaze elsewhere, you are still worried, you should know that I have the same symptoms when I' m watching the world.
These stories are recognizable, there is no abstract. It' s all too clear.
But these stories haven' t a connection with reality, and these things happen elsewhere, perhaps in parallel. They are in my mind, they are the result of my observation.
A mere mental development.
Cartoons, grotesque, noir, surreal, but more innocuous than it might be the reality itself.
They are acts of power that still live in their buildings.
Mere mimesis distorted.
The human being as my Wonderland. "
