Second page of the manuscript of Prostitution

“This text is made of several layers of texts, from different times: it is composite. Corrections were made to unify the whole: it is from those corrections that I transformed the text into language at the proof-stage. These were the last moments of mechanic printjng, just before the beginning of the process of photocomposition. Like a painter who would have made a work of relative classicism, and who would have transformed an impressionistic work into a cubist work, on the same canvas. We see the pleasure of remaking what already exists. I cut through words with logic: there the rhythm imposed itself.” Pierre Guyotat
