  Domus 901 march 2007, Thinking up against a wall, page 71

  “I still have, for example, a hanging of blue and yellow parrot feathers, probabily made for the back wall of a Peruvian Sun Temple and supposed to date from fifth century AD. In 1966, I saw a similar piece in the Dumbarton Oaks collection and, on returning to New York went to see my friend John Wise, who dealt in pre-Columbian art in a room in the Westbury Hotel. (…) ‘I’d give anything for one of those’, I said. ‘Would you?’ he growled. ‘How much money have you got in your pockets?’ ‘I don’t know.’ ‘Empty them, stupid!’ I handed him about $250 - and he handed me back $10 with an equally grumpy ‘I suppose you eat lunch.’”

  The first image he told me about was of three children on a road in Iceland, in 1965. He said that for him it was the image of happiness and also that he had tried several times to link it to other images, but it never worked. He wrote me: one day I’ll have to put it all alone at the beginning of a film with a long piece of black leader; if they don’t see happiness in the picture, at least they’ll see the black.

  BBC Talking to Strangers: honey birds

  These birds are best known for their interaction with humans.

  Honeyguides are noted and named for one or two species that will deliberately lead humans directly to bee colonies, so that they can feast on the grubs that are left behind.

  (from a BBC series called “Trials of Life” and the episode is called “Talking to Strangers)

  La créativité, c’est conserver tout au long de la vie une chose qui, à proprement parler, fait partie de l’expérience de la première enfance : la capacité de créer le monde.
