(0:46) Good afternoon. I just want to say thank you for having me. This accumulation made a lot of the different ecosystems. There was a lot of fissures…

(1:48) To me, that would be a new form. And, yes, indeed, I’m open. I’m always open. It’s flexible. You know, you have to go underwater.

(2:03) I love the ephemeral part of it. That’s the part that I love about lighting. You know, you want to stay in that moment, but you really, truly, you can’t. You can’t catch it. You know, of course, the lighting is inside this structure, this physical sculpture, but you can’t really have it for yourself.

(2:27) The challenge here would be, in the next 50 years, have the equipment, the computer, to be able to read it. That’s the key to me.

(2:47) The ones that before had different hues and the colors were much more intense. So, the piece, really, truly, will never be the same.
