These evolved into 'torn poster' decollages constructed from urban walls covered by lacerated posters.

Many of the torn posters on the urban walls of our cities are historical pop cultural images of desire.

Has not a lot of twentieth century continental philosophy been preoccupied with two desire as sex and desire as power? Though desire as sex/desire as power can form together overcome the other through desire but often they remain separated: Freud gives expression to the former, Hegel and Nietzsche to the latter. Bataille's erotic transgression reworks the Freudian model with the Hegelian dialectic as one between the socially accepted and the transgression of those norms by the erotic, orgasmic body.
