Recreating the Western painting “The Death of Marat” by Jacques Louis David.
A modern twist of procrastination. A projection of today's youth who can't get on with things until the very last minute of an assignment. Detailed art direction, including procrastination metaphors such as energy drinks, coffee, piles of books and sticky notes. The first letter on the stack books can be read as 'Marat' from the top to the bottom. The knife with blood in the original painting is converted to a bread knife with strawberry jam.
ジャック＝ルイ・ダヴィッド「マラーの死」の現代風再現。Procrastination（プロクラスティネーション・先延ばし）のアレンジを加えた写真。課題ギリギリにならないと、物事にとりかかれない現代の若者を投影した作品。プロクラスティネーションのメタファー、エナジードリンク・コーヒー・付箋など細部にこだわったアートダイレクション。
