"The theme of the exhibition Encre sympathique is based on the novel of the same name by Patrick Modiano… I also like the play on words associated with it when you translate the title directly into English... sympathetic ink? What does that mean? As you know, it‘s the French word for invisible ink... when I was a child, I lived very close to Nice in Èze and went to a small village school there... I wrote my secrets in invisible ink in a notebook... (Thomas Zitzwitz)"
