Pierre & Gilles, the high priests of kitsch, demonstrate their art by bringing together the dove of the Holy Spirit and the snake of the Tempter. This requires us to travel back a few thousand years, to a time in which the gods possessed a bit of malice and the demons a little goodness. The Greek gods were able to cause harm through their escapades and the demons could perform good deeds in a manner just as complex as that of mankind. Today we say evil can come out of something good, and the way to hell is paved with good intentions. A well-meaning act of kindness occasionally causes hurt, while the shadow economy is sometimes beneficial, because necessary morality also has its own shortcomings and evil really has positive side-effects.
