Following the &#8220;Tortures&#8221; (Abu Ghraib), where the painting was a prison full of degraded bodies, merciless guards, bandaged heads, baying dogs and armed shadows, mouths gaping from the nightmare, I produced the &#8220;Disguises&#8221;. I chose sixty drawings from my collection, and returned to being a &#8220;pirate&#8221; once more. I manipulated them on canvases of a different scale, trying to kill the &#8221;primitive&#8221;. Not to mask or to camouflage, but to disguise: a true pretense. A lie as a co-response. But irony no longer saves me, I can hide myself no longer. Once again it is the time of tragedy, with the cycle of the &#8220;De-Positions&#8221;. They could also be deportations, in the sense that I set or transfer the body to an &#8220;autre&#8221; place. Lay it down in different positions, like a removal; purplish skeletal hands, hung bodies, large black bands simulating crosses. Birds terrified by the scene, if not by the deliberate theatrics like a laic comedy which turns to tragedy, perhaps too overtly stated, too narrated. And still there are hearts flayed, bodies laid down almost like sculptures, eyes wide-open or closed, mouths gaping, contortions on diagonal axes, precarious equilibrium, de-positions gathered up by gigantic hands. Maybe prayers&#8230; maybe shouts and claims for compensation, superstitious dismissals, obliterations, pretenses. There are signs designed FOR and signs designed MORE: perhaps they await the gallows and another de-position to lay down once more, in that the &#8220;body&#8221; is always &#8220;isolated&#8221;. Austerity and desperation are &#8220;drawn&#8221; without participation, as for a publicity poster, in that the &#8220;awareness of pain&#8221; and its own expression, if not the same images, have been commissioned by the world and by its media. A voluntary anguish, drawn and &#8220;planned&#8221;. We have all been deposed by the massacre of trends, by the idea of art as art, by the &#8220;art&#8221; of criticism, by rampant homologation, by memory, perhaps by history.
