posted in: Past Exhibitions | 0

Within (A Bataillean study) draws from Georges Bataille’s writings on desire and eroticism specifically his analysis of the indelible concept of heaven and hell conveyed by physiognomic distinction between man and animal.

Champ contrechamp (Une étude Bataillienne) est basée sur les écrits sur le désir et l’érotisme de Georges Bataille et plus particulièrement sur son analyse du concept indélébile du paradis et de l’enfer tels que véhiculés par la perspective physionomique de la distinction entre l’homme et l’animal.Within (A Bataillean study) (2015)
