He made piles.
:36:01
I've always liked
the world of dumps and salvage,

:36:06
anything that's been
sort of discarded by society.

:36:11
It's like a cavern here.
:36:13
My own little cavern, that's right.
:36:18
A place where I combine
:36:20
objects differently.
:36:22
I need to accumulate.
:36:24
It's a shelter as well?
:36:27
From what?
:36:29
From emptiness.
Because it's full here.

:36:34
I'm moving towards emptiness now,
or rather, towards lessness.

:36:38
As much lessness as possible.
:36:40
- You're still a long way away!
- I am.

:36:44
Right now, I store up things
:36:46
because I know
I will need to recycle some.

:36:50
The encounter happens
on the street.

:36:52
The object beckons me,
because it belongs here in a way.

:36:59
The encounter also happens
on the road,

:37:02
and it happened to us.
:37:04
On our left, an abandoned factory.
:37:07
On the other side, a sign '' Finds''.
:37:11
''Curios'' is common,
but '' Finds'' is more inviting.

:37:22
Hello, how are you?
:37:24
Hello.
:37:25
Turn and face me!
He won't.

:37:30
I spotted some wheat behind
that chap,

:37:33
and behind the robot,
I discovered a painting on gleaning.

:37:38
It contained both
:37:40
the humble stooping
of Millet's Glaneuses

:37:42
and the proud posture
of Breton's Gleaner.

:37:46
The painter
had an old dictionary at hand.

:37:50
Honest, this is no movie trick,
:37:52
we really did find these Glaneuses
purely by chance.

:37:56
The painting had beckoned us because
it belonged here in this film.
