Denis Darzacq – “Hyper”
LA’s Kopeikin Gallery and De Soto Gallery have collaborated to exhibit “Hyper,” a new collection of photographs from Denis Darzacq.
In preparation for the show, Darzacq asked street dancers from the working-class neighborhoods of Paris and Rouen to perform in the aisles of the large-scale supermarkets and global retail chains, or “hypermarché,” prevalent in France. In the photographs, Darzacq confronts mass consumerism with floating, ethereal figures, conjuring themes of globalized commerce, the relationship between individual and environment, and the human cost of materialism.
“Hyper” will also include selections from “La Chute,” a photographic series inspired by social unrest-based riots in the housing projects around the outskirts of Paris in 2005. In this series, Darzacq explores desire in the midst of extreme distress.

Salomé
Cuadro de Franz Von Struck con el pasaje biblico de "Salomé" (1906) pidiendo la cabeza de Juan el Bautista. Esta version en especial da como miedo! De por si creo que cualquier version de esta historia es terrorifica por el hecho de ver en la bandeja la cabeza del pobre hombre, pero esta version presente tiene algo dark, algo de maldad, el personaje que trae la bandeja con la cabeza no se que es! parece un mono-demonio feliz de traerle a la golfa de Salomé su premio.
