But most of all, part of his Diary, 鈥� a project started in the 1970鈥檚 鈥� will be displayed, offering an intimate look into the creative process of Jean-Fran莽ois Octave, his memories, his considerations and other peregrinations. His hundreds of diary entries are as many bridges connecting past to present and present to past, making this last four decades coming full circle.
