Quotation of the month

Je ne combats pas la nuit, je flirte avec elle. Je ne suis jamais dans un rapport d’opposition avec elle. Ce n’est pas parce qu’on apporte la lumière qu’on veut combattre l’ombre. Au contraire. Le noir est mon premier matériau parce que le soleil me laisse alors tranquille pendant quelques heures.

Yann Kersalé, artiste, créateur de lumières sous forme d’installation, d’interventions pérennes en milieu architectural, à propos de son exposition "Expéditions Lumière", à l’Espace Electra en 1994
