CHRISTMAS FOREVER

Un catalogue d’enfants-poupées à croquer, une collection d’idoles séduisantes, nous offre un arbre de Noël orné de jouets, un prince charmant et des images pieuses de madones éthéré ……….it’s Christmas again!            

Flesh & Plastic, Idols and Child Models  prennent la forme d’une dénonciation de la représentation markettée et commerciale qui vise à transformer la vison de l’enfance en beau produit de consommation et évoque le formatage des poupons en sages images racoleuses et glamour. Joyeux Noël et Merry Christmas for ever, for ever…

PRINCE CHARMING

Through the polysemy of verses and images, the photographer evokes this association of the world of innocence and purity, with the illusion of freshness and the sensation of softness. Yet this celluloid flesh and these plasticized figures play on analogy, surf on duality and the opposition between fascination and repulsion, between Eros and Thanatos. The artist, Julianne Rose, slips on ambiguity, the double, the clone, the stereotype and the beautiful ideal. She extracts from the ordinary the very essence of the « disquieting strangeness » that the surrealists pursued in their quest for the marvelous. It is rather to deadly impulses to which Julianne Rose alludes , a Christmas with a grating and sardonic refrain that is more reminiscent of Halloween…extract from the catalogue Christmas Forever by Isabelle de Maison Rouge
