"because it was me - because it was him", 1994, Photographic diptych. 90 x 65 cm

In 1994 we spent the summer with Felix Gonzales-Torres,
we wished for longer,
it was a revelation for us,
inspiring for him,
he saw beauty in death,
he left us a memory and two photographs that he staged,
he called them
"because it was me - because it was him"
