Thus, emerging from trunks acquired in a flea market, are over four hundred covers of children’s books strangely transfigured: the titles, names of authors, and publishers have been summarily crossed out with a ballpoint pen; collages of cut-out silhouettes of female fashion models—taken from catalogs from the 50s and 60s—partly obscure the original illustrations of the covers, but the most striking thing is this line drawn with the same blue ballpoint pen and escaping from the corners of the models’ lips to end in their hands in a fall as graceful as ceremonial.
