I warmly thank Véronique Durruty for her art, her tenacity, for her humour that never thinned during our ten months of hardship, for our few giggles and our many tears, our candour -and our common resistance to adversity.

And I do thank Patti Smith for her Horses masterpiece, for all her other extraordinary records, and for these few following sibylline words. A music. A poem. Some seer’s words –what else.

Hypnotic words which never lost their impact over my soul since 1975.

"She knew. De l’âme pour l’âme". *

Indeed. A meeting. Soul to Soul.

Because between music, painting and photography, that is what horsesvisions has always been all about.

And nothing else.
