Philosophe Denis Diderot penned an 18th-century novel featuring talking vaginas, while poet Guillaume Apollinaire spiced up one of his short works with incest and urine fetishism. Occasionally the art is downright playful: a thirteenth-century copy of the Idylls of Theocritus arranges the words of the poem in the form of the pipes of Pan, the sort of thing done by the French modernist poet Guillaume Apollinaire in the early years of the twentieth century. In the urban setting (prior at least to the phenomenon of the SoHo boutique), such places occupy what, to draw on a poetics of modernist melancholy that dates back to the era of the buildings themselves, Guillaume Apollinaire called the "zone": all inbetween province of open space, labor, depopulated nights, and not a small amount of lumpen ennui. |
