ERD “Les voies au plaisir sont pénétrables” Long Sleeve T-Shirt — Black

Black heavyweight cotton. White print, front, back, and sleeves. ENFANTS RICHES DÉPRIMÉS woven label at the neck.

Front: A composed, vertically structured composition on the left chest.

Upper text — two elements stacked:

• e.r.d. — in small, fine lowercase letterforms with periods — delicate, almost typeset in quality, the brand initials rendered at their most restrained
• Les voies au plaisir sont pénétrables — in very small italic or light serif type, centered below “e.r.d.” — a French phrase meaning “The paths to pleasure are penetrable.” A Baroque sensibility in a single line — ERD as literary label.

Below the text: A large white screen-print rendering of Bernini’s Ecstasy of Saint Teresa (1647–52) — the sculpture’s central figure, Teresa of Ávila, depicted in her famous state of divine rapture: head thrown back, eyes half-closed, mouth slightly open, expression suspended between agony and ecstasy. The rendering is high-contrast and heavily degraded — white on black, with strong chiaroscuro collapsing fine detail into bold mass. The robes and the descending angel’s arrow are partially visible at the edges of the image.

Sleeves: Both sleeves carry additional print elements — small circular medallions or heraldic seals rendered in white, placed at intervals along the sleeve length. These echo the archival, classical register of the front and back imagery.

Back: A large, centered composition — the same subject rendered differently.

Center image: The same Teresa figure, now shown within an elaborate oval portrait frame — a Baroque carved frame, highly ornate, with a crown at the top, decorative foliate and figurative elements along the sides, and a base element below. The frame itself is rendered in fine white detail — engraving-level intricacy. Inside the frame, Teresa’s face and upper body are shown in a slightly different cropping or tonal treatment — the same ecstatic expression, now formally enshrined as a portrait.

Below the framed portrait: A small architectural element — a balustrade, a plinth, or a stage-like base — rendered in fine white line, extending the illusion of a physical object standing in space.

The overall program references the theological, the erotic, and the art-historical simultaneously — the French phrase “Les voies au plaisir sont pénétrables” functioning as both a devotional reading of Bernini’s work and a deliberately provocative secular reframing of sacred ecstasy.
