Hunt P., The Soliloquy of the Broom, Gevaert Éditions, 2010
The Soliloquy of the Broom is a transcript of a conversation between Olivier Foulon and Michael Krebber on their mutual interest in Gustave Courbet. The publication follows from the work that Foulon made as part of If I Can't Dance's Edition III – Masquerade (2008–2010), that focused on the concept of masquerade in relation to painting. In a 16mm film Foulon brought together four paintings of Courbet that are each different versions of the portrait Jo, the Beautiful Irish Girl. His film visualizes not only early forms of mass production in art, but also reflects on the concept of a model that is used as a template for a painting which itself then becomes the model for another painting.
