About the exhibition

"The most beautiful things in life happen by chance," were the very words I once read while traveling on a sachet of sugar, which, like other sachets, was decorated with various life wisdoms. Thus, completely by accident, I came across the text, bringing to my mind a similar statement by Gabriel García Márquez and an operetta aria about chance by Johann Strauss. It is worth wondering, by the way, whether coincidence is really just coincidence, or whether it is nevertheless subject to an internal secret logic... except that this is already a philosophical question, quite like whether the soul is immortal and the will is free....

But even if life, as Novalis put it, is not meant to be "a novel given to us, but a novel created by us," these few beautiful coincidences certainly provide an irreplaceable source of inspiration.
