Very young I knew I would become an artist. Two things were important for me….My godmother and godfather had a really tough pub for the dockworkers. Their son was a postman and he came around in the neighbourhood. Ringing the doors he brought the cheques, he was given some drinks and some money everywhere he went. For me, as a youngster, I thought, ‘Wow, he’s free, that’s what I want.’

The second thing that was important for me was the idea of the chemical experiment. My first chemical laboratory was in the basement of my parents’ house and my second laboratory, where I worked in the years 1978– 1979, was in my parents’ garden. It was a tent in the shape of two noses.

Still today in my work I systematically choose for the experiment and I want to bring my messages around the world. So the combination of the postman and the gaia scienza guided me to become an artist. – Jan Fabre
