“My art has always used sex as a direct communication line to the viewer. The surface of my stainless steel pieces is pure sex and gives an object both a masculine and a feminine side: the weight of the steel engages with the femininity of the reflective surface.”

lecture IIReduction and Essence

Guillaume Apollinaire calls on the playwright Alfred Jarry"Monsieur Jarry?"
"On the third floor and a half," answered the concierge.
The answer astonished me. But I climbed up to where Jarry lived–actually on the third floor and a half. The ceilings of the building had appeared wastefully high to the owner and he had doubled the number of stories by cutting them in half horizontally. This building, which is still standing, had therefore about fifteen floors; but since it rose no higher than the other buildings in the quarter, it amounted to merely the reduction of a skyscraper.
It turned out that Jarry's place was filled with reductions. This half-floor room was the reduction of an apartment in which its occupant was quite comfortable standing up. But being taller than he, I had to stay in a stoop. The bed was the reduction of a bed; that is to say, a mere pallet. Jarry said that low beds were coming back into fashion. The writing table was the reduction of a table, for Jarry wrote flat on his stomach on the floor. The furniture was the reduction of furniture–there was only the bed. On the wall hung the reduction of a picture. It was a portrait, most of which he had burned away, leaving only the head, which resembled a certain lithograph I know of Balzac. The library was the reduction of a library, and that is saying a lot for it. It was composed of a cheap edition of Rabelais and two or three volumes of the Bibliotheque rose. On the mantel stood a large stone phallus, a gift from Felicien Rops. Jarry kept this member, which was considerably larger than life size, always covered with a violet skullcap of velvet, ever since the day the exotic monolith had frightened a certain literary lady who was all out of breath from climbing three and a half floors and at a loss how to act in this unfurnished cell.
"Is that a cast?" the lady asked.
"No," said Jarry. "It's a reduction."

“When a number of bodies of the same or different magnitude form close contact
with one another through the pressure of other bodies upon them, or if they
are moving at the same or different rates of speed so as to preserve an
unvarying relation of movement among themselves, these bodies are
said to be united with one another and all together to form one
body or individual thing, which is distinguished from other
things through this union of bodies” Ethica, II, Proposition 13, definition
