Sumario:The article presents an interview with artist Wim Delvoye. A description of his works, including the Lipstick Prints, 1999-2000, and work of art shown in the 1999 film Sybille, are presented. Delvoye said that they make art that's unsellable, but it grows and it shows, in an ironic way, how investment works. He also said that he likes Robert Rauschenberg's theater decor a lot, where he placed light bulbs on turtles and let them slowly move on the scene. What is interesting for him is how social values attach themselves to the image and prefers things that are not status-enhancing.
