“Dear Elena, (…)
I am working around this situation. So I have imagined my collection of carpets, horizontal… Yes, I will add the ceramics (…) The ceramics are not “just” objects, but lamps, but they are not just lamps, they are faces too (…)  The horse trace for me is a little something that I would like to bring in my work. I think it would be beautiful and strange. It’s a different way of interacting with the space by creating the absence of a horse.” (Bruxelles 22.2.2018)

“Dear Marco!
I was working yesterday in the total concept of the exhibition, I worked deeper into my ideas and the title “That horse slamming doors”. I’m happy with the title and it inspires me a lot. It contains a hint to “interior”, to “magic realism”, to  presence and absence of someone/something…. It gives the right feeling. So I had 2 more ideas to underline the expo. It contains sounds. 1. sounds of slamming doors. Just from time to time, here and there… 2. traces of a horse… Very delicate… The viewer notices that a horse was in the space earlier on. Together with the sounds of different slamming doors this will give interesting and magic athmosphere. It’s a combination that you can’t place, can’t make sense of it but you feel a story-telling and poetic atmosphere. I started with ceramics, in the ceramic atelier and on paper. I will send you some sketches later on when I’ll be in my studio.”
