Le Yack - So What - Hand-signed

A motel room in broad daylight. Sitting on the armrest of a bottle-green armchair, a brunette woman with a bouffant hairstyle and a sleeveless white dress places the needle on a microgroove record, holding a Miles Davis record sleeve, with a stack of records at her feet. On the wall, a framed pop panel — a crying blonde face and a bubble of despair — comments on the scene like an ancient chorus. Through the bay window: the vertical sign “MOTEL / VACANCY,” a white fin-tailed convertible, a cloudless blue sky. Semiotically, the tableau overlays three systems of signs that say the same thing in different ways: the shouting pop image, the whispering music, the woman who remains silent. The diamond of light projected on the wall cuts the gloom into two temporalities. A smooth, illustrative facture, a palette of khaki, chalky white and deep green, punctuated by the red of the sign.
