L’artiste de Los Angeles Plastic Jesus, a crucifié Kanye West !
Sa création intitulée « False Idol » est une statue dorée de taille humaine représentant Kanye West en Jesus crucifié, la statue est actuellement exposée sur Hollywood Boulevard avant d’être déplacée au Tower Records building.
Voilà comment Plastic Jesus décrit son oeuvre :
“He’s a genius at writing and producing but he’s not a God, and that’s where we put him. Until there’s an issue in his life or a hiccup in his career, then we crucify him. We’ve seen it before with people like Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan. The same people who put him into a God-like place are the same yapping at his heels for a piece of flesh when something happens…The piece is intended to be as critical of us as consumers and the media as it is of Kanye himself.”
