拍品专文

For Pierre et Gilles as artists, our reality is something that must be re-decorated and re-elaborated until achieving perfection. Gai Paris, Jean-Paul et Andras (1998) is closely related to that idea _ as universal and democratic as it may be, although, at the same time, decidedly utopian. It should not surprise then, to find the protagonists of this work building up their love in some kind of dream-like scenery. Both guys are posing with their torsos, next to each other, and directly facing to the viewer's eyes. Their flawless figures are framed by a collection of vivaciously pink daisies that seem to try to reach the perfect cotton sky under which they have grown. Andréas is located right behind Jean-Paul, holding a little daisy in his mouth. His lazy eyes may suggest he is about to lay his head down on his partner's shoulder in a romantic gesture. Behind the young lovers and at the center of the picture, the Eiffel Tower rises dominating the panorama in the far distance. The inclusion of this national symbol accentuates the loving implications of an oversaturated piece, and resembles the iconography one may find in the commonplace postcard for tourists.
