Once the Diaries are finished they are kept in a steel structure I call the Diarythéque. This object becomes a sort of folder, an archive of my time that contains the painted “Diaries” up to the present and those that I still have to paint. I thought about all the time that I have left to live and I have accumulated a quantity of wood that corresponds to that amount of time.  At first, the painted part is small and the untouched part is big. Over the years this object gradually fills with colour. It’s as though a space has been built that I will fill with my life. The meaning is not of death, of the end, of closure, but of a physical and temporal space where the normal flow of things is abandoned.
