Walking through the Parisian museums Laocoon notices a work from Patrick Caulfield—”Girl on the terrace”.
The girl fascinates him at once. Phantasies and dreams unfold before his eyes and engrave deep in his mind. Laocoon wants to capture this moment an a naive portrait of himself contemplating a picture emerges.
This work assembles fragments from various images and ideas against a black background symbolizing the night and the dreams—in other words more of a collage than a complete picture.
