Banane Deluxe Sculpture Installation , variable size Year : 2013
All of Jean-Marc ’ s sculptures tell a story . His “ Banana Deluxe ” is a short-lived , perishable banana chandelier , consisting of hundreds of the fruit , an installation made to pay homage to Josephine Baker who appeared on stage in 1925 during the colonial period wearing her banana belt .
To Jean-Marc , this luxurious suspension references western capitalism , an allegory illustrating artistic indictment . The “ Strange Fruit ” of Billie Holiday denounces the segregationist lynchings . An obvious image at a late stage of the decay of fruits . This artistic appropriation of banana interests him for the polymorphic , paradoxical and cyclic symbol , directly connected on the condition of black man and part of the folklore of negrophobia .
