Je suis à la gare - I am at the station

JE SUIS À LA GARE is a daily registration of people on railway stations in The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium from 1993 to 1996. I am a traveler. In railway stations we are all connected as travelers. The project 'Je suis à la gare' contains about 38.000 numbered works and three exhibitions. It is the start of archiving my work. The sketches are made in 'écriture automatique', automatic writing and pinned on the walls of my studio combined with mixed media.
