Robert Plant
‘It all started in my garage, when I was listening to a radio programme about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This turned out to be the first step on a winding path where I came across a white bear, a green plant, and lots of folks answering to the name of Robert and asking me to follow them. Robert Plant is the result of this spiritual journey, and of the many sidetracks that the spectator – an immobile traveller – can choose either to follow or to ignore.’
