Texte intégral
1Compilations have been proliferating on the Internet since its creation. The “Try not to laugh” and others, offer hours of laughter much more effective than the shows of our childhood. These compilations become the way for k-pop fans to get more and more pictures of their favorite Idols. These fandoms classify the smallest emotions of these young people pushed to perfection, and give themselves moments of laughter and happiness to see their failure and exhaustion on stage.
2Can’t Stand the Flop mimics this culture of visual reappropriation to carry us away in a crescendo of stage misfires. From the jubilation of seeing these hit machines fail, this “compilation” transports us into the difficulty and pressure of the live performance. From the fiasco creating an amusing moment to the “mental break-down” transpiring with a chaotic emotional charge, Can’t Stand the Flop questions our relationship, as artists and spectators, to the stage. Thanks to this industry that pushes the idea of perfection to the extreme, where flaws become the means to prove the humanity of its Idols, we find ourselves facing common feelings, between discomfort, amusement, and compassion.
3 Can’t stand the flop is a video by the artist Dolores, which takes part of the issue 10 of the French journal Transposition, Musique et sciences sociales entitled “Flops in music”, edited by Sarah Benhaïm and Lambert Dousson.
