“After fulfilling my commitment to finish the project UNIVERSE in 1004 drawings, the idea of a new project arose : ANNEX.
After six years of work, during which several times the new project seemed to come to a closure and reopened again, it has now become apparent that it is still running very actively.
It was a misjudgement to think that both projects had equal rules ; I intended to make ANNEX like UNIVERSE in which from the start everything was fixed, with a beginning and an end, a given number of works, and a specific form of presentation.
Like every human being I try to repeat the happiness of one experience; it was very important to me to realize that whereas I thought I had seen ANNEX as finished one day, I would find myself obliged to continue the project again the next month or year.
Now I am at peace with the fact that this project has grown in blocks of time with successive endings and rebirths ….”
