Hommage à Bernard Dimey (Tribute to Bernard Dimey)
Description
“Why must one wait so long to discover the little, the nearly so little that was needed to move ahead one step on that unique road, in the only possible direction?” »
Extract from the poem “Manque à vivre” taken from Bernard Dimey’s testament.
The proposed set-up thus illustrates, through the presence of combined elements, that precariousness, that fragility of human time opening upon what one sometimes calls, I think, freedom!
