Painting is not necessarily the making of works of art. If that were the case, nothing would distinguish it from any other production of commodities. I prefer to deal with art as something that does not belong to the realm of objects. Paul Valéry suggests that we consider the execution of the work of art as the true work of art, which is a little closer to certain accuracy in art, but an action transformed into a work is still reification. Each object is a sign of a loss, of disappointment. I am closer to Carl Einstein's idea of a self that disappears in action. No objects. I paint without having an intention or sense, without having an emotional involvement; it is a pure action devoid of meaning. Consequently I have nothing definitive to show.
With photography things change. Photography is strict; the medium demands from us a side, a point of view, a certain treatment of the image commanded by feelings. That's why I use it to test the viability of combining disparate perspectives and incompatible feelings. The result is obviously doomed to fail.
