Ecstasy

Still, but be careful … they take us to the ambiguity and the climax of the senses and the flesh: Ecstasy! Indeed, Jean-Robert Franco created this series of photos from pornographic video. From a common carrier, the artist transforms the content of the photo. Stage where the image is transformed, where the instant of emotion is entered, captured and vacillates between animality of the flesh and the divinity of the emotion … Mutation of vulgarity through encryption and labor support. Strange tipping when those faces you these bodies reveal what is hidden or taboo emotion, cry. Final moment where the flesh gives way to what seems to you that shines light morbid and serious.

Freeze frame … encryption seems to run on those faces, veiling the animal nudity and stressing the seriousness and strength of expression.
