“On est un peu des voleurs, on est des voleurs du temps. On vole des instants et restitue l‘éternité.”
“We are a bit like thieves, we are thieves of time. We steal moments and return eternity.”
– La Rue Zone Interdite. Dir. Duclos, G. 2004. Film.

This series is the earliest record from before photography became the primary language of my work. It was an attempt to gather more sensations along the paths I walked every day, and a collection of sketches and fragments for paintings and prints. Yet the act of collecting forms, as Duclos once said, became a way of stealing time, and the moment that stood still became eternity.

“우리는 사진을 통해 시간과 순간을 훔치는 도둑이다. 하지만 우리는 영원을 선사한다.”

이 연작은 사진이 내 작업의 주된 언어가 되기 전의 첫 기록이다. 늘 오가는 길에서 더 많은 감각을 끌어안으려 했던 시도, 그림이나 판화 작업을 위한 스케치이자 조각 모음이었다. 그러나 형태를 수집하는 행위는, 뒤끌로(Duclos)의 말처럼, 시간을 훔치는 일이 되었고, 멈춰진 순간은 영원이 되었다.
