I know this, and I know you. We are all voyeurs. We love it when it gets personal — and you are no different. So here is a more personal post about how I keep track of things that happen to me.

Sixty-seven fragments of secret memories

I have these dirty diaries. A lot of these. Collecting artistic memories began when I was a student, using 35 mm slides. Then, at university, I started writing in a notebook, and I have never stopped.

Literally let my thoughts splash onto the paper

How did I started it? I was inspired by the reading of The Andy Warhol Diaries, a dictated memoirs of the artist, collected each morning by Pat Hackett on her answering machine. I wanted this.

First page of the sixty-seven notebook, Dec 11, 2023.

Today, I have finished the notebook number sixty-seven. Every ending is a new beginning. Each of them has a title on the first page, this one is named “Escapade” and relate my recent stay in Europe.
