THE UNDRESSER

A woman is covered with a dozen of clothes that she takes off while reciting enigmatic and haunting sentences. She will never get naked as if this ritual gesture was an excuse to say what she has to say.

"A woman takes off a blouse, which reveals
another blouse, which she removes, revealing,
another blouse, which she removes, revealing,
another blouse, which she removes, revealing,
another blouse, and the repose of nudity
never comes.”

Henri Michaux in Life in the Folds, 1972
