The characters in this work are distributed on the pictorial plane, almost indifferent to each other. Two exchange secrets and others dream and create futures. Between melancholy and action, these characters present a multiplicity of states of mind, they are actors and actresses of themselves.
"ROYALTY
One fine morning, amidst sweet people, a haughty man and woman were shouting across the public square: "Friends, I want her to be my Queen!", "I want to be Queen!".
She laughed and trembled. He spoke to his friends of revelation, of a finished ordeal. They swooned into each other.
Indeed, they were kings for a whole morning, in which carmine tapestries stretched over the houses;
And the whole afternoon, in which they advanced from the side of the palm garden."
Arthur Rimbaud, Illuminations
