Do you like my reflection?

⁃ I want to lick your pupil
⁃ I'm disgusted at the thought of touching my eye.


Do you like my reflection?
Do you like me in the mirror?
Do you like my breasts?
Do you like my breasts in the mirror?

⁃ Look in the mirror, there are two people there
⁃ Do you mean four?


I was inspired to create the "I Love It" exhibition by an encounter I had over 10 years ago with a very poor black and white reproduction of John William Waterhouse's painting "Hylas and the Nymphs".
This poor quality copy of a famous work made a strong impression on me. The resulting experience often comes back to my mind. It seems to me as a real contact with art coinciding with the contemporary situation in which the viewer sees most exhibitions through the plane of the screen.
