When you organize a TODAY, the first thing that comes to mind is: « Where do I want the next one to be? »
To answer that question, there is a thin balance between enjoyment and relevance.
That balance that gonna give space to my sensitivity, to my creativity.

After Cape Town and Paris, that question came naturally to my mind.
I began to understand what was criteria to focus on, regarding the selection of a city.

I remember saying to myself: « It needs to be big enough to take advantage of its urban agitation and diversity of places. But human-scaled also, so I can walk around, meet people and experience as much as I can. But too small, and I won't find anything to capture at night. »
Internal struggle, you got me!

Three years before, I went to Amsterdam. I really enjoyed roaming in Amsterdam’s street: Cruising on my bike, on a boat, to discover that surprising city. That feeling was close to the one that I feel meandering during my TODAY. And, as I was living in Cape Town, I thought that many people back there would enjoy the TODAY/AMSTERDAM exhibition.

The balance was found. Amsterdam, here I come!
