Astrid, The Original Identification - Portrait Of The Artist As A Cyborg

ASTRID: THE ORIGINAL IDENTIFICATION

It is usually assumed that the Astrid of the picture and of 'Astrid Visions' mentioned in #27 of The Artist's Metafictions are the same:

'Rumours about the identity of the beautiful Astrid have multiplied over the years - Zen has resolutely refused to comment, never confirming or denying her existence - and the new documentary to appear about Zen and the Quartet, The Band That Never Was, due to be aired on Channel 365 soon, only deepens the mystery.'
