But the defacements here seem more concerned with the censor’s own feelings rather than enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Arjan de Nooy’s version applies an analogous principle to a single photographic negative. He took the picture in Paris in October 2007, with no special reason apart from the fact that it has a faint similarity with Queneau’s story.
