The Last Supper
Before the party, after the party, an impression of time suspended
The last supper suggests a happening illustrated with two tables. The one where everything is proper, well and nicely prepared before guests arrive. The second one an impression of what’s left after the party.
Now it’s time to start the festivity under a heavenly and divine sky!
As the time goes by, the bottles of champagne are empty, the sound of diffuse music is heard. The day will soon end after this celebration. Everything was charming, but feverish and crazy. An unexpected encounter that constantly balances between dream and reality is created, transcribed visually and narratively by the shoe scene.
What’s more banal than shoes! The incredulous and amused viewer knows that two Sweethearts are there, their shoes have taken human form which convinces the world that a love story has already begun …
This translates Man’s quest, his passions, his adventures, his illusions and his hopes. The last Supper symbolizes life as a feast. It is magic and truth, value and principle, norms of moral order, needs and conformity. It is about morality and reality veiled and unveiled, without convention, it is about emotion, excitement, loss of control, mutual expectations, but also of frivolity and triviality.
The Last Supper is the story of human being, a sublime, lustrous and colorful life, as a flamboyant commemoration full of charm! always stronger, ever crazier!
