"In my kinetic depth images, the viewer in motion plays the most important role. When he looks at them from a fixed point of view, he sees only two forms that overlap because of the transparency of the surfaces. But as soon as he moves, as soon as he goes forward, steps back or wanders past the picture, it changes incessantly, the emotional shocks follow on from one another without respite, and the work begins to live, to diversify visually."
