I thank you

ALL MY THANKS GO TO ALAIN-DOMINIQUE PERRIN FOR HIS INDEFECTIBLE SUPPORT FOR 40 YEARS, WITHOUT HIM THIS SITE WOULD BE CUT OF THE MAIN THING

My thanks to Mario Costa†, Michael Leruth, Derrick de Kerckhove, Pierre Moëglin, Annick Bureaud who accompanied me throughout this fascinating intellectual adventure.
My thanks to Alain Seban and Laurent Le Bon, both Presidents in turn of the Centre Pompidou, who supported me against institutional blindness, and were able to recognize before their own curators the intrinsic value of my work as an artist.
Thanks to Pierre Lévy, lifelong friend for his preface.

THANKS IN DISORDER

Thanks to the many people who, in different capacities and at different levels, have supported me in carrying out this work throughout my existence... and without whom this site would not be displayed before your eyes today.

They are named here out of order, without chronological, alphabetical or importance order.
I've probably forgotten a lot of them, don't let them blame me, at my age memory is fragile...
