“One of the PVC collages “PLAYGIRLS” inspired by ‘La Fontaine d'Aréthuse’ (1910) by composer K. Szymanowski. Pages of the nude magazine Playgirl (Baltimore, 1958) served as a starting point. The works have texts of the book ‘Rhythmanalysis’ of Marxist L.Lefebvre (Parijs, 1992) and bits of the first text i ever wrote on a computer, in 1980. The titles and content of the works have to do with specific chapters of « Le Miroir des Âmes Simples et Anéanties et qui seulement demeurent en Vouloir et Désir d'Amour » (Paris, 1300) of the mystic Marguerite Porete. I feel very close to her individuality and passion. The Playgirls were made for my Zeno X exhibition, ‘3 Carrels (Degenerate Customized Solutions)’.” — AMVK
