I’ve been meditating a great deal on the question of travel because I have, in fact, been moving between continents for a long time. If tomorrow someone offered me an interesting project to do in Cape Town, South Africa, I’d leave immediately.

I’ve been diligently studying Chinese and I already know the language well enough to be able to speak up and take part in an artistic debate. When I create a new work, I look for the most significant elements in the history of a city or a country. But, as the work is concerned with public space, it is not enough simply to imagine a sculpture and then produce and install it. I want my creation to raise questions and elicit reactions
