People call me a philosopher or a scientist or an
anthropologist. I am none of those things. I am an
anamnesiologist. I study what has been forgotten. I divine
what has disappeared utterly. I work with absences, with
silences, with curious gaps between things. I am really more
of a magician than anything else.
