REMOVE FROM THIS WORLD THE ART OF WRITING, AND YOU'LL PROBABLY REMOVE ITS GLORY (Chateaubriand)
 (A Collection of steel and gold nibs * Paris, 1984)

Gilles writes daily: personal remarks, taking notes of events witnessed in the streets, jotting down dreams and realities, documenting small "things," seeing many details that happen to be right there -- numbers, words, colors, sounds -- which, more than often, remain unnoticed by many. Observing and writing is one of his special gifts.
