Life brings us to change places, to move. Philippe Jaccard will move a few times. Philippe works very fast and therefore produces a lot. Paintings accumulate. When Philippe moves, he gives them away. "What to do with all these paintings. What interests me is doing, working, painting. That's what I like. I've never had room for storage. So I give!" He says, amused and adds: "It doesn't bother you, Hervé... It's just the way it is…" 2008, after living in Dordogne for a while, Philippe moved back to Geneva and donated hundred and fifty eight paintings to his local commune.
