Rene Hell – Porcelain Opera
By Ash in Music Reviews
The artwork of Rene Hell’s ‘Porcelain Opera’ is a photograph of a partially clad woman embracing a statue that appears to be Jesus. Captured by Sasha Wiseman and presented as a faded photograph, the revealed pink stockings suggest an implausible sense of the prurient, while the repression suggested by the crossed legs mirror the suppression of Christ’s hands on the cross. A conscious desire to shock – and love – is incidentally revealed by the choice of the artwork, though nothing explicit is ever inferred. What does it mean? What does ‘Porcelain Opera’ mean and how does that relate to the recorded output of Rene Hell?
