Making-Off
This work by Gérard Rancinan, entitled La Malbouffe / The Big Supper, is part of the Métamorphoses series, a landmark collection that explores the profound upheavals of our society through visually striking stagings. In this composition, Rancinan revisits the theme of the Last Supper with irony, bringing together around a table a group of flamboyant characters that embody an excessively consumerist society. Their postures, expressions, and the abundance of food evoke a paradoxical feast, where social critique mingles with humor to question our relationship with industrialized food production and overconsumption.
Bathed in harsh light and devoid of any decorative artifice, this scene recalls the almost theatrical quality of classical iconography, while transposing it into a resolutely contemporary context. The work highlights the dichotomy between the pursuit of immediate pleasure and the societal and individual consequences that ensue. Through precise photographic treatment and the dramatic tension emanating from it, Rancinan captures the essence of a world in flux, subject to overabundance and a constant search for strong sensations.
