Les mendiantes

 From then on, if these shoes are no longer useful, it is of course because they are detached from naked feet and from their subject of reattachment [...]. It is also because they are painted: within the limits of a picture, but limits that have to be thought in laces. Hors-d’œuvre in the œuvre, hors-d’ œuvre as œuvre: the laces go through the eyelets (which also go in pairs) and pass on to the invisible side.
