00:00 What do you think about the bourgeoisie?
00:04 There are some poor people who play with the bourgeoisie.
00:07 That's the worst.
00:09 I like people who are sincere.
00:11 At one point I was stealing the plaques from the galleries.
00:21 Yvon Lambert was stealing his plaque from his gallery, rue Vieille du Temple.
00:26 I told him, "If you want to get your plaque back, come and see the wild exhibition at the Grenier Saint-Lazare squat."
00:35 It's the squat we had next to Beauvau in '96.
00:39 '94, '95, '96.
00:42 And he came.
00:45 I told him, "If you want your plaque, either you buy works of art, the one you like the most."
00:54 "I recommend you buy a Meriadek, or you'll miss your party."
00:59 "Your plaque is worth 600 euros anyway."
01:03 "You're on a bail, man. And if you don't agree, I'll break it in front of your eyes."
01:10 "What have you done with your life, Yvon Lambert? You betrayed it? You succeeded?"
01:20 "We won't give up, you dog!"
01:24 "We won't give up, you dog! There will be dead people."
01:27 "One dead on one side, ten dead on the other side, you shitty Macronists, shitty bourgeois."
01:33 "After the arrests, we'll cut off the big bourgeoisie's head."
01:37 "The big bourgeoisie is over!"
01:39 "The billionaires are over! Tyrannize them!"
01:42 "A coup de tyranny!"
01:44 "To become a billionaire, you have to be a tyrant."
01:48 "There's no billionaire without being a tyrant."
01:51 "Cut off the head of the billionaire."
01:54 "It prevents sharing wealth, because there are heirs, so there are several sharings."
02:00 "Do you know what a nourris is?"
02:15 "It's the symbol of international punk."
02:19 "Look, when you see this, it's more like decoration."
02:26 "Look, this is a lamp."
02:28 "No, it's not art, it's artisan."
02:33 "Decoration."
02:35 "That we want."
02:37 "It's between the two."
02:41 "They didn't understand art. Art is sensitive."
02:46 "It's not utilitarian. Art shouldn't be utilitarian."
02:50 "It shouldn't be useful, it should be useless."
02:53 "Art should remain useless."
02:55 "They use lamps."
02:58 "It's a bit insulting to art."
03:00 "Did the guys from the Lascaux cave turn their paintings into lampshades?"
03:05 "No."
03:06 "It's all understood."
03:08 "They didn't turn their art into lampshades."
