Following Hopeless to Love You, I committed to organizing an exhibition for the Fondation Carrefour des Arts. I didn’t have much time. I was already working more or less around letters: we had wanted to include breakup letters in Hopeless to Love You, but it was beyond my budget. This exhibition became an opportunity to extend that exploration through another project.

Rooted in my own story, I started asking myself: why do we keep letters?

I grounded my research in the notion of the fetish object as explored by Massimo Fusillo, and invited seventeen artists to collaborate with us around this question.

Because, for me, an exhibition should be a whole, not just artworks on walls. We wrote and produced a publication explaining why we chose each artist, sharing our personal stories and reflections, with scanned fragments of our archives and the artists’ creations.

This is exactly why I wanted to work in art projects in the first place: because it is, ultimately, a question of connection.

From research to building a corpus of works, from securing funding to production, shipping, installation, curating, and publishing…what is important to me is doing things together. As a collective, it means carrying every step, supporting one another, and keeping the focus where it belongs: on the artists.

Putting egos aside and carrying projects collectively is essential. Too often, art is treated as a stage for visibility, without fully acknowledging the many hands, minds, and forms of care that make a work and an exhibition possible.

For me, art is a shared process: we question ourselves, and we exchange. You can lead a project but only through hard work and discipline, by listening, by practicing kindness, and by staying humble.

And whether @hysteriecollectivebxl lasts or not in the end, I don’t really care. The essential thing is that I vibed with my friends, and met new amazing people along the way.

A big thank you to the artists, to Maxime, Colm, Christine, Vincent, Noé, @sam.evers, to all my friends, to everyone who came to meet us and support us. To @fondationcarrefourdesarts and to my art partner, @cambier.emma.

Are we writing for ourselves
or for the others?

I worked a year,
a year of nights and mornings
poured into a book
all my time, my energy,
and the sadness that never left.

You cannot start a fire
in a forest already burned,
but if you listen
among the ashes,
you may see
what still breathes inside.
