John; desire, anger, extasy

Julie Cornieux

“Oh no John!” is an exclamation which can express surprise, desire, fear, or deception.

John is the main character; as he acts so he creates his daily life. He can repeat and repeat  his activities until  exasperation,  or to the contrary, break the eternal monotony, and surprise us.

John is the only man in the story. Perhaps he is married or perhaps he is surrounded by womankind... He lives in the 50s or 60s, in the middle of a world full of dreams, where everything is synonimous with progress. Objects are king and John has to master them in order to seduce and conquer.

This work is a collage, made with pictures from the 60s, showing the gap between the hopes of the baby boom generation and their reality.
