"The way [Guy Debord] used détournement in those years confirms what we already suspected about the deeper roots of his being: he needed others, he needed those marble statues, in order to make himself known, both as one and many. Détournement was a ritual through which images of others magically made the self visible." --Jean-Marie Apostolidés, from The Tombs of Guy Debord (translated by Laure Katsaros and René Kooiker)
