“ A plate, a landscape, a vision.
 The arrival in another world – the consciousness of tourism – exotourism.
 A new landscape is like a film that does not need a narration.
 It is a panoramic image that reflects its tourists and their melancholic colonisation 
 of lost or artificial paradises.
 The exotourisme, it could be tourism of a space, the wandering in the universe between the meteors and the exoplanets in the search for the different landscapes and new sensations.
 It could be also an intended confusion between the spectator and tourism, between the attraction and exposure, between a space and an image. Endless settings of stars, the hyper boreal syntax, emotional galaxies.”
