Simon Benson, “TOBEBORNANDBORNAGAIN”, tekstwerk in gesso op mdf, 2005
"Many most attractive and enthusiastic women also commit suicide by stabbing, drowning, drinking prussic acid, aconite, arsenic, opening their veins, refusing food, casting themselves under steamrollers, from the top of Nelson’s Pillar into the great vat of Guinness’ brewery, asphyxiating themselves by placing their heads into gas ovens, hanging themselves in stylish garters, leaping from windows of different storeys."
- James Joyce, Ulysses. (via batarde)
