I remember the moment I saw my first #MarcelDuchamp painting. I was sitting in my community college chair in the front row —of course I was in the front row— chugging my coffee —I had a day job as a legal assistant to pay for each credit hour out of pocket— and I remember seeing her for the first time. Mona Lisa… with a goatee. Ahhh such sweet satisfaction to have been in class that night.
The Audrey that popped this whole challenge off is my baby that will never leave my side and is a constant reminder that I must trust my instincts. And my instincts this morning said to tip my hat and recreate her in two hours! Man, why do I do this to myself.
The backstory of how Duchamp came up with this epic painting is worth the search; I promise you won’t be disappointed. L.H.O.O.Q. is a gramogram; the letters pronounced in French sound like “Elle a chaud au cul,” which translated means roughly, “She has a hot ass.” *Gasp* He said what about the Mona Lisa?! 🥸😍🤓
Now let’s step over to one of my favorite French singers, #Zaz as she sings #JeVeux; a French song that opposes materialism. With a chorus like this… I knew it was the absolute perfect song and I was giddy to film her.
🎼
“I want love, joy and cheerfulness.
Your money won’t buy me happiness.
I just want to die with a hand on my chest.
Let’s go together discover my freedom.
Let you forget all your stereotypes.
Welcome into my reality.”
🎼
What do you feel when you see her? What do you feel when you hear the music paired with her? I wish I could see your insides on the outsides too. That’d be a real connection I think.
I wonder what she’ll look like tomorrow!! 🥂 🥳🎨🎥🍿
