Catcha... who? What's in a name? He who is called an old guy by another name could be called a dreamer, a story-teller, a seeker of sense, a lover of beauty and a reader of many things. What is the value of collecting? A collector seeks more than just objects, he gathers thoughts and dreams, materialized symbols, mirrors of both ourselves and this world. These objects are alive, they have a soul and an aura, they are loaded with meaning and sparkling with significance. They are signposts in a vast and incomprehensible universe, stories to be read over and over again, recombined like the letters of the hebrew Bible or the cards of the Tarot. Experiencing these objects is like meditating, it is remembering our human condition, but also the vast treasures of the world and the mighty adventure of life. These things purify our soul and refresh our perception, drenching us with a feeling of adventure and with a promise of fulfillment. To see Creation in a dusty meteorite and Eternity in a broken clock. Collectors are children for life, singing and dancing in their very own Garden of Eden...
