68. LE VIEUX SOULARD ET SA FEMME BY CLEMO BREAUX AND JOSEPH FALCON,
1928
REMIX: HISHAM BHAROOCHA, LE VIEUX SOULARD ET SA FEMME, 2007
This song by popular Cajun musical couple Breaux and Falcon can be
translated as ‘The Old Drunkard and His Wife’. Bharoocha’s
visual work is constructed in a similar way to his music, it is pattern
based with psychedelic influences. This collage includes elements
from the natural world with a female portrait communicating a strong
sense of joy and beauty. His work often recycles images from magazine
and books, showing how the daily information we absorb is transformed
in our subconscious.
Hisham Bharoocha is an artist and musician based in Brooklyn, New
York. He was a member of both Lightning Bolt and Black Dice and now
plays solo under the name Soft Circle and with his band Pixeltan.
He has been included in shows at Deitch Projects and John Connelly
Presents in New York and has just had a solo exhibition at De Vleeshal,
Middelburg, the Netherlands. |
