The great unfinished of my life are the books. I can’t finish them and often I can’t even start them. I like having so many books full of wise words and I imagine myself absorbing all the wisdom they contain. I struggle to finish them because I already want to know what the next one […]
I see the aesthetics of the unfinished rich and deep in meanings … the wall not painted to completion can have great strength. If I say “unfinished” what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I am reminded of the Japanese philosophy wabi sabi, of the beauty of imperfection, of the depth […]
If I think of the unfinished it comes to mind when I painted the entrance in my apartment. I started the chore and then left it half painted for months. Finally, I called a house painter to finish the job. If I say “unfinished” what is the first thing that comes to your mind? […]
“[The unfinished] does not exist!”. It does not exist because I promised myself at a certain point in my life that everything I wanted to do, no matter how long it would take, I would be able to do it. If I say “unfinished” what is the first thing that comes to your mind? […]
The unfinished is like something a little hard, a hard material, not too malleable, as if frozen, for which you have to put effort and more effort to take back and bring to completion.

The beauty I find in nature, in a one-hundred-year-old tree and a starry sky, in the work of men, in a book or film that opens my mind, in people with a pure soul, fertilize me. I felt frustration in interrupting projects but sometimes also relief in freeing up space for something else. If I […]
Unfinished is entering a somewhat childish dimension. It means remaining in that volatility of children, who are obsessed with one thing for three days, after which their interest is exhausted and they move on to something else. I like being passionate about projects, passion is so important, I like the initial push. Instead, closing something […]
I live with the idea that things are there, as if a little frozen, waiting to be dusted off. I can say that the beauty of incompleteness is that feeling you get when you read a book and it’s not finished yet, it helps you to live with an attitude of curiosity, you wonder what […]
I’m terrified of the blank sheet, the blank canvas, even on the Word page before I start writing. So for me, the colour of the unfinished is white, which is a non-colour. It’s another story for collages. The paper is thin, so I have everything in a box with sheets, photos and pages cut out. […]
If I think about my curatorial projects, I would like to have more unfinished projects, I am often in a hurry to finish things. If I say “unfinished” what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Something started but not finished, to be confused with something interrupted. Interrupted means that it is finished […]
