“From a supermarket carrier bag, products such as tissues, matches, cigarettes, tampons and sweets emerge. Products that we use freely every day without a second thought. They are a kind of second skin, more immediate garments than dresses, shoes or trousers. Products that are in fact destined to come into intimate contact with our skin and even to maintain a certain look and composure.

This is why their role in the game should not be minimised. This tragic performance brought onto the stage in a plastic bag tells us clearly that all of the products we use, from the most interesting to the most ordinary, contribute to the biography of the body – a product and a producer of landscapes, discourses and hierarchies separating North from South, adults from children, women from men and the living from the dead. Landscapes and discourses that identify this side in order to contrast it with that side.”
