I Think I Know What You Want To Say<\/strong> is a work that plays with the idea of collecting something that is essentially immaterial \u2013 namely our body language, our gestures and signs. How can I create such an imaginary collection? How can I organize it and show it to others? What discrete ‘non-objects’ will I include in my collection? Can I perhaps organize my (as yet non-existent) collection, in order to then systematically collect according to my own preconceived classification? How do things like desire or chance play into this process?<\/p>
