“for each de-finition/method, there is a succession of appearances, interspersed by eclipses. there is night and there is day, which now become one. a sudden death, then a painting again, different and the same. i wrote in 1994 a little book called “my paintings are short-lived, but have many lives.” it is indeed about time’s stating a duration whose limit can’t be imagined.”
