**cliq. cliq. image = watch the short-movie**
There are some days where I decide to tell here something not really very interesting.
Today it's one of those days. This is like SAMO, as Basquiat used to write off NYC's walls.
(SAMO means Same old shit).
I've finally released my last artwork.
A short-movie called Mercantilisme Humain.
This is a short movie. I do not want to show prostitution for real.
I only want to suggest watchers when they are chosing a girl, or just walking through the streets, and what happens, each night, each evening, in this block. I want to show that we used to do not care about prostitutes, and sex-shops, and sexy-pics. All those things are melting in the daily life. We could be, in the same time, very indifferent to those girls, and very appealing by those beautiful (& *bonne* :p) girls.
I have use some rushes in Pigalle Place & Clichy Blvd, by night, in car.
I have use some pics taken in London, by one of my lovely friend… and shots from *Suicide Girls.com*. Borgo has given me the music, a tunes composed by Clint Mansell, from Pi (movie soundtrack).
I've taken some pics of my body. I was quite naked, only dressed with my underwear clothes.
I want to use some parts of my own body, in order to be more 'involved' in my artwork.
I put some food shots on my body, and i've also done the same things that in my 1st artwork (of the year… the one with Diana, Marylin Monroe, James Dean, and Elvis Presley…).
I've played with the colors and the saturation. It was the funny part of the creation.
This, and when my dad calls me and ask "Is it the 17th Racine Street prostitution-house ?". My friend Morgane was there, because she had to shot me, and she laughed a lot when I appeared to her, dressed like a prostipute. Nice recalls/rememberings/recollections for later. I'll remember all my life those moments.
The purpose of my artwork, is to show that the girl is, at first, like a merchandise. We choose a girl like we choose vegetables in the market. Girls are simply reduced to be only a things we could buy, we could get for money… and then, in the second time, it was for showing that the girl is just a human being, a person who is totally devasted by her job, her clients, all the things she has to do for earning money… Clients, consumers left her after using her in a horrible state. She's considered by consumers like a vegetable or a fruit we peel off before using, eating, and then, you leave all the peels liying on the floor, and the girl too.
This is all the things I've tried to express in my artwork.
I've prefered to use a nice compression. About 18.2 Mo to download.
Sorry for 56k dial-up's users, but it was the only way for me to present my artwork here.
Thanks to da *Cuckoos.net* crew (my brother Sehdreek, and Kewl, and Ziga, and Scalp and the others) for hosting me without any storage limit. Thanks a lot guys :D
Thanks to my friends for having supporting me when I was having some doubts…
Ok ! you finally ended that work which I must say is great. Congrats and Kisses

Salut
J'ai vu la vidéo :D J'aime bien, c'est bien fait, on ressent bien se que tu as voulu dire.C'est vachement bien :p
J'ai montré a un copain la vidéo ainsi que ton post, il m'a fait quelques commentaires. J'espère qu'il va poster car il a bien aimé.
Si tu connais la note, c'est quoi selon toi?

Moon : woh, l'autre hé, il regarde les, pour ne pas dire la nana qu'il connait super bien au lieu de regarder le film :p
Des filles de ma classe ont vu le truc, elles m'ont dit que les examinateurs au bac allait être shocking par mon film hahaha.. alors que franchement, y'a rien de bien méchant... je suggère, c'est tout :)
Comme tu dis, y'a l'imagination après :)
Else : c'est pas mal les images avec la saturation, et les rouges/bleus, ca fait spot de lumières.. l'effet vitrine criarde et tape à l'œil... Avec le son, c'est beaucoup mieux, puis je vais remettre un lien vers celui de Borgo aussi si tu ne l'as pas vu :) La note, c'est un 17/20 et pour le bac, en juin, j'attends au moins autant :D
Ca donne quoi @home ?
Borgo : huhu, mais je ne pensais pas à ça moi :p J'pensais plus à certains mots ;-)
J'aime bien quand tu t'occupes de mon blog... Il va en avoir besoin pendant la session de juin :)
Odin : ahhh, ca me fait plaisir que tu aimes. J'me demandais si tu allais la regarder. *contente* que tu ais osé. J'ai eu un 17/20 pour ce TP, et pour la bac, puisque je le présente à l'oral du bac, je pense que j'aurais autant, enfin, ca sera entre 15 et 20/20 quoi :p
Soffiato da Mélisande on June 1, 2005 08:29 AMI did not come here since a long time. Too long time. It is simply brilliant! Especially body painting, I could eat some. May I ask you your technique? let me guess: it's a work of projection starting from slides... hum... I am not sure. anyways, i'll say it again, that is great. Carry on.
Soffiato da ozeis on June 5, 2005 04:00 PMOzeis : Ohhhh, thanks a lot guy. I'm very happy to hear that :-)
Body paintings. No, I don't think so... It's a shot of my body, and I paste shots of my food on my body, using Photoshop, to give an impression of transparence and forms to those pics. Oh, you really want to eat me :p
Thank you, my friend :-)
Take care...
