The artist’s statement: Art is above all the experience of transformation. My Self-portraits, or what go by that name, are only the place and the formula of the mutation. The only raison d’être of art is to transform what art alone can transform. All that’s not me, that’s what interests me. To be there where I think I am not, to disappear where I think I am, that is what matters. Listen to the first verse of “I Am the Walrus” by John Lennon: “I am he as you are he as you are me”…
