For this creation, context is everything as told by the French artist himself, Sebastien Bouchard. In his work, he was describing about what happens when one of the world's most recognizable brands is lifted from its high-society environment and plunged into a completely alien surrounding?
He then brought the question up in a form of an artwork that questions most of the user where he made it more attractive by the addition of a detailed hand-painted Louis Vuitton monograms on an African calabash bowl for a group exhibition in Dakar, Senegal.
"C'est la crise," or "crisis time," is what this artwork is called where it shows a great contrast effect of a famous icon that describes of luxury and unattainability (for most of the poor and slobs) with a combination of an inexpensive daily necessity object.
This project piece is one of an example how and what it meant with one of the question I am bringing up. That is,'What is necessity and what is luxury?'. This question will be part of my starting point of my final project through various experimentations.
