Madonna’s image featured in New Exhibit

Madonna‘s image is used in a new installation by South African artist Candice Breitz who draws on contemporary mass culture, devising new systems for understanding reality. Born in 1972 an raised in Johannesburg, Breitz belongs to the South African generation that lived through the reign of Apartheid. Her work is featured in a exhibit at Il Castello Di Rivoli (Rivoli’s Castle) in Turin, Italy.

The two main pieces of this exhibition are called Mother + Father and Ma + Pa.
Ma + Pa is centered on Madonna and Freddy Mercury. A segment of Madonna from the Papa don’t preach video in which she says PA is alternated to a segment of Freddy Mercury from the Bohemian Rapsody video in which he says MA.

Candice Breitz admits she personally belongs to the community and generation that shares with “so many others the pleasure of a Julia Roberts film or the latest Madonna song, submissively consumed like foods that soothe the mind”.
