Title: JOËLLE DUBOIS : Future Nostalgia
Description: Distanz, 2023 244 pages, 130 color images, softcover with flaps, 23 × 27.5 cm, German/English. ISBN 9783954765096. ¶ In her bold and colorful paintings, Joëlle Dubois (b. 1990; lives and works in Ghent) examines the impact of social media and the role of humans in our modern society. Inspired by the constant stream of photos and video clips of the Internet, she confronts the viewer with explicit scenes of private life. By means of playful improvised compositions, Dubois captures both the surfeit and the transient nature of the images. In her figurative paintings on wooden panels, she deals with topics such as gender, sexuality and fetishism. In a mixture of lethargy, obsession and sadness, Dubois shows her characters in compromising and intimate positions and thus pointedly captures today's hectic, confused Zeitgeist.
