Through Roberta’s cycle, composed of the trilogy of The Laws of Hospitality(1995) and most of his paintings, Pierre Klossowski repeatedly depicts hiserotic phantasmagoria that inhabit his monomaniac mind and mark his maritallife. His «mental comedies» have as their main protagonist his wife Denise,who later became Roberta in the works, who lends herself to her husband’sperverse play and thus becomes an erotic model to exhibit. Roberta, throughthe solecism of her gestures, her mutism and the appearance of her reanimatedghosts in a state of trance – which we will define here as a phenomenon oftrans-appearance (a dual term that explains the trans-appearance and transparencyof phantasmagoria) – informs on her true dual nature, in fiction andespecially in painting, ready to incarnate itself before the complicit gaze of herreader-spectators-voyeur. The trans-apparence of Roberta’s erotic fantasy willtherefore be manifested in the work in the duality of its function: on the onehand, it will be the spokesperson of the manifestation of erotic ghosts in thenovel and, on the other, it will guarantee their representation diaphanous andimpalpable, and therefore transparent, in the drawing.
