Following up from The Blacks (Bricks), and as with Carlo Ginzburg, I held a series of conversations with people who have been important throughout my life: relatives, friends, artistic and theoretical references. Each one of them confessed some recurring mental scenes that appeared to them without even knowing their origin.
From these conversations, I modelled in clay fragments of some of these scenes, creating a series of constellations which corresponded to each person and intertwined with those of the others. I did the same with a couple of political cartoonists of the French context, Charb from Charlie Hebdo and Frap from La Lettre à Lulu, except that they produced a cartoon from one of those scenes which was presented as a mural in the exhibition space.
