... The bodies (...) break up, are reduced to fragments, to paroxysmal details, which refer to the obsessions of the mind around the body, rather than to the whole body.

Walter Guadagnini
“Fetishism and the transgressive world produced images that I liked because they were dangerous.
They were about personal obsessions. They stood outside the accepted canons of artistic expression and they suggested new ways of depicting the figure that weren't dressed up for public consumption”.
