He'd bring me to a spot he'd found, and the place would begin to live. Some old, forgotten part of London. Then he'd reach back for a story, for a piece of history, as if he'd been born there. He'd quote from Marx, or Treasure Island, or de Quincey.

Guy married me so that I could have the benefit of his work if ever he died or went to jail. […] We loved each other and sometimes we loved other people, but we had no respect for the institution of marriage.

It seems to me that here my work, very short but extended over a period of twenty-six years, corresponds very well with the principal criteria of modern art: 1) originality that is clearly marked from the beginning and the firm decision to never do “the same thing” two times in a row, all by having an always-recognizable personal thematic and style; 2) understanding the society of its time, id est to explain it by critiquing it, because this is obviously an era that lacks critique more than apologetics; and 3) finally, being revolutionary in form and content, which seems to me to go in the direction of all of the “unitary” aspirations of modern art: towards the point at which it wants to go beyond art.
Guy Debord, Correspondance
