The day was May 7th. It was the first day post Golden Week, my sixth day spent on an island for the Setouchi Triennale 2019, including my third on Ogijima (yes, this Spring session, was Ogijima-heavy indeed, but my life is Ogijima-heavy, so it makes sense…). Finally, the crowds were […]

These are some extremely busy times. At the university, the academic year has just started. At home, my son has just started preschool.

Now everything works (thanks for LAN cables) and I can finally start telling you about my adventures in the Setouchi International Art Festival. Of course, yesterday, the first […]
