Almost every time I go on a journey, when I leave my studio for more than three days, I continue the diaries elsewhere. It is as though the biological need to leave a colour, a trace of my existence, cannot be interrupted for too long. The travel diaries begin and end every time I leave Venice. They have the temporal duration of the journey and are thus not completely filled. They cover the time that would otherwise be left blank when I am not here in my space.
