"for months I followed strangers on the street. for the pleasure of following them, not because they particularly interested me. I photographed them without their knowledge, took note of their movements, then finally lost sight of them and forgot them. at the end of january 1980, on the streets of paris, I followed a man whom I lost sight of a few minutes later in the crowd. that very evening, quite by chance, he was introduced to me at an opening. during the course of our conversation, he told me he was planning an imminent trip to venice. I decided to follow him."

Les 4 Ombres Byzance.
Il nuovo quad occhi è declinato in quattro Parure: Baroque, Imperiale, Venitienne e Cristal. Nell’esclusivo astuccio realizzato con finitura oro martellato la palette cromatica riprende le tonalità sature delle pietre preziose presenti nei sontuosi bijoux creati da Mademoiselle.
Sfarzosa la combinazione della Parure Imperiale dominata da un profondo porpora granato e resa lucente dal giallo zaffiro e dai riflessi perlescenti dell’oro rosa.
Un affascinante opulento gioco di contrasti, tra colori e luce!
Four years ago we choose to stay in that house for that window. I always dreamt of a beautiful window from where you can watch and peep life rolling under your eyes. Yes, probably because I loved "Blue in the Face" and "Smoke" because I love serial projects where you feel that something is happening and growing under your eyes because after a while you can read what is anonymous for the others, especially when life looks repetitive when you record a hidden sign of life, sometimes a beauty, unpredictably. This afternoon my window gave me a positive message, one neighbor is listening to Bob Marley, another one is at the window catching the sun. From Venice a peaceful message (probably banal, but I want to be banal!) after a few stressful days of a crazy helicopter - One love, One heart Let's get together and feel all right...
