A close up on the man holding a rock. It's drawn on a squared grid paper. The back of the sculpture reflects a sort of green shadow on the wall. A detail of the glued collage, coming from a dictionary A small wall sculpture made of cardboard, with different levels of different shapes. Some are covered with plaster, rather roughly. On one of the parts there is a small drawing in blue ink of a man in a suit holding a big rock. He also wears an oversized mask. an engraving with some geological part of a mountain is glued, the legend says it’s a Cluze. On one of the shelves, a piece of bamboo evokes a dead tree. The overall size is 25×25 cm. A small wall sculpture made of cardboard, with different levels of different shapes. Some are covered with plaster, rather roughly.

A series of four drawings on index card. Each one is showing a man on the top of a cliff. He’s wearing an oversized mask that looks like a ventriloquist’s puppet, dressed with a white shirt and a black tie. He’s alone, surrounded by what seems to be instructions to dance : Shake your shoulders, lift your arms up, move your feet, tap your feet clench your teeth, turning in circles, let’s go A series of four drawings on index card.

A text in the upper left says : [chuckles softly] A third page, drawn in blood-red ink : a man with a ventriloquist’s puppet mask, is climbing what looks like a steep mountain.

The background is red lavish. Another drawing of a man, made with red ink. He’s wearing an oversized mask quite ominous, a suit with a tie, his finger pointed. A text nearby states : They told me I might be able to help you, I'm not sure how, but I'm happy to try Another drawing with red ink : a man stands in a sort of desert with some tree limbs and rocks, the light is violent. He seems helpless, in a suit with another oversized mask. The sky is red and half dark.

From a sketchbook, page 167, a drawing of a woman sitting on a rock, looking tired. She’s wearing no clothes, save for an oversized mask and a pair of gloves. The landscape behind is sparse, some plants looking like canes. There is an illustration of a small carriage from the 18th century glued in the greyish sky, and two clouds with the words « a part of the experience » and « There are moments when I think I made you up ». A detail of the carriage. The illustration comes from a dictionary. A detail of the background with the cane-looking plants
