Naomie Klaus - Youth Looks So Good On You (Vinyl)

"When forty, I was still wearing miniskirts, extravagant patterns, pink, ?uorescent colours, star shaped earrings. I walked around with my leopardskin hat, my fluffy bag, my ?oral outfit, until the gaze of others made me feel like it was not age appropriate anymore. Although I am still the same person I was at 16. It's the others I see changing." There's no better way to describe ageing than through the gap that arises and continues to grow between physical reality and the specular image of the self : one deteriorates over time, exposed to the cruel laws of gravity and oxydation, while the other never ages, remaining intact and unaltered... frozen in a moment of blissfulness. The more time goes by the more the gap becomes a separate entity (ou "world" pour etre plus prosaïque). It can become so painful that many try to escape it, using and abusing every trickery. "Youth looks so good on you" is a sonic ballad which bizarrely explores the world that lies between reality and self-fantasy, a world where the aesthetic cult of youth becomes sovereign to the people. This piece was produced in 2022 as part of the Festival « Les Heures Sauvages - Nef des Marges dans l'ombre des certitudes », at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris. After "A Story of a Global Disease" in 2022, "Youth looks so good on you" is the second piece of music by Naomie Klaus released on moli del tro records.
