“I
was aware of whay I caled phisical unconsciousness, the body’s
underaying awareness of itself. I tried to rearrange the sexual
elements of a girl’s body like a sort of plastic anagram. I remember
describing it thus: the body is like a sequence that invites us to
rearrange it, so that its real meaning comes clear through the series
of endless anagrams. I want to reveal what is usually kept hidden - it
is no game - I tried to open peoples eyes to new realities: it is as
true of the dol photographs as it is of Petit Traite de la Morale. The
anagram is the key to my work. This allies me to the Surrealists and I
am glad to be considered part of that movement, although I have less
concern than some Surrealists with the subconscious, because my works
are carefuly thought out and controlled. If my work is found to
scandalise, that is because for me the world is scandalous”
My debut novel, The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke, has just launched. If you get a chance I'd be grateful if you'd go to my profile to find out more. The story's about Dada, art and artists, and the attempt to instigate revolution by means of art.
