Forced to work in this factory in Villetaneuse, where there was always the same scrap metal, I started to stop at scrap metal dealers where I discovered the world of scrap metal. They have presses to compress expensive materials - copper, bronze, aluminium... that are piled up like bricks. And one day, at a scrap dealer's, I picked up some compressions. I took them as Braque picked up a pebble or as Pablo took an object, a bicycle cot or a bicycle saddle. It's the same problem after all."
