Jean-Claude Bélégou The Revenge of the Flesh DE MODERNES ODALISQUES (2001/2004)

 

 

This work has been created along with the « Luncheon on the grass » which is the outward view of « the angels sex ».
It could have been named « odalisque » or « discussions byzantines».
The body is treated in a straight contemporary appraoch that is not seeking to hide desire neither the sexual dimension of it. This is an apporaoch worried of esthetic dilemmas such as questions of colours, light, spaces. I take pictures of the "terrible human passions"
 I photography them inside me. I take pictures of the The sex of the angels.
« Too intimate » say my contradictors. It is as if they were saying "remain superficial!".
Too far in the inside, with the things, whitin the flesh , the consciousness,the desir ; as if they were saying « Divert us from the reality fo things" or "don't go further appearances, don't undress reality". "Do not show it, we are ashamed to see its face."
They prefer abstract figures, they are less commiting."
IThey are not even able to face a sex, they are not even able to face desir, whereas they are made of it, whereas they only talk about it.
They want to remain blind.
