'Almost any name would be suitable for this series of images: traces, remains, indications, inaccuracies...

It occurred to me, I would call them self-portraits or biographies, but someone who knew better warned me about the risk of locating myself between vulgarity and presumption. Then, without opposing the Zeitgeist, I decided to name them Call for Papers, a name that suits them well and roughly explains everything, by way of allusion.'
