David LaChapelle - Taking Mummy For A Walk

David LaChapelle's work, Taking Mummy For A Walk is a pigment print on Dibond made in a limited edition of 7 copies and 3 artist's proofs.

In this work, LaChapelle implements an ingenious linguistic game. Redrawing the boundaries of his semantic code, the scenario takes place on an ordinary city sidewalk, in which two figures are the protagonists: a young woman in a white evening dress pushing a completely plastered and hooded person in a wheelchair. 

In the background, however, is a modern reproduction of a sphinx in a contemporary key.
The word Mummy, then, signifies yes mummy, but also mother: in the act of maternal care, the faceless protagonist thus pushes her mother's baby carriage for a daily walk. Mother is so blindfolded that she looks, however, like a mummy.

Inserting himself masterfully between the dreamlike and hyperrealist dimensions, LaChapelle makes a subtle social critique. The scene comes across as surreal to the viewer, dominated by bright and vivid hues, emphasizing the critical trend of modern society in which what matters is the showiness of gestures and what is in fashion at the moment.

The work Taking Mummy For A Walk was made in 1998 and measures 46x68 cm.
