Eat your galette

Sylvain Ramolet

french song:
J’aime la galette Mary
Savez-vous comment?
Quand elle est bien faite
Avec un ... dedans
Tralalala lalala lalère
Tralalala lalala lala

“Oh no john!”
Here we draw upon the rich French cultural tradition of Galette de Rois which celebrates the arrival of the three kings.  Small porcelain charms are baked into a cake to be discovered by someone while eating it, who then gets proclaimed king.  Here porcelains charms take on various shapes of different illicit drugs: psycho tropics, ecstasy, LSD... to play on the ambiguity of those substances which are supposed to be hidden, while we are searching for it in the cake.
Two series will be show:

- Charms, porcelain, printed white on white, plus photographs.
- Psychotropic charms, limited edition, gold leafed, wrapped in small square papers - as heroin would be packaged.  These smalls paper are printed recto/verso.
