More quotes by Annette Messager
Pornography is about images that are repeated, saturated. Images of the human body, not nature. What I find in pornography is precisely the repetition of the same: the clichés of pornography. There can be no real transgression, just an image that repeats itself.
Annette Messager

Annette Messager
[Love] can be found in making little dresses for stuffed birds, or in a garden of tenderness like I have done - mixing writing, photography, and real spaces. There are all kinds of acts of love.
Annette Messager
I have always believed that somehow the less we reveal the more the other desires to see.
Annette Messager
Being an artist means forever healing your own wounds and at the same time endlessly exposing them.
