"I also did a show in Reims. Reims is the French city where all the kings are crowned. I did something completely different there. The show was called An Anatomy Lesson and it was about the breaking up of narrative, my own narratives, but European history narratives at the same time. I wanted to begin talking about a whole bunch of different things and then as usual interrupt myself and not talk about them. I wanted to do that deliberately in some historic way. The French don’t trust art, they only trust narrative, so I wanted especially to disrupt narratives and break them, to make similar narratives and fake narratives." [full text here]
