The limits of corporeality, the oscillation between life and death, and the transformation into a corpse from the scholium of Ethics V 39 also appear in her work with a political perspective. The vulnerability of the body is portrayed in Le manteau de Spinoza, where a body undresses, a body exposes itself. It is a vulnerable body, perhaps Spinoza’s own body, but one that does not fear death. The figure undresses, shows its body as it is, while in the background, before the imminent horror, a girl covers her face not to look. Spinoza’s cloak, empty, lies on the ground.
