Jean Noviel : Sex Trucks

Preview

They are as toys or small-scale models there which the repetition of the shape makes even more disturbing. They are every day unstable, uncalled-for, taken, but always on returning to the night fall. Evening showcases, night footbridges, more rarely in the day : everything depends on agreements and on the tolerance admitted on the public domain. We are at the heart of the wood, just a step from Paris, where already get lost the practices and the codes collectively accepted.

Parked at the edge of the isolated ways or the roads the toponymy of which reminds the old military vocation of places, these small vans have unreal, almost dreamlike looks, as fragments of set or refuge far from the rather glaucous reality of their first function. The treatment of the images dismissal so in the conventions of reading of these trucks at night the attendance of which obeys too very precise codes. The reproducible and frontal structure of the typology evokes as for her the mechanical and repetitive slaughter that all these women in their Trafic trucks practise.
