“First the body”
Montage #1

Elsa-Louise Manceaux, “Untitled”, gouache and color pencil on newsprint paper, 2017



“First the body. No. First the place. No. First both. Now either. Now the other. Sick of the either try the other. Sick of it back sick of the either. So on. Somehow on. Till sick of both. Throw up and go. Where neither. Till sick of there. Throw up and back. The body again. Where none.”
Samuel Beckett, “Westward ho” in Worstward Ho London: Calder, 1983, pp.77,78
