Crushed 7UP Cherry
PHOTOGRAPHER: ARTHUR BELEBEAU
A crushed can of 7UP Cherry holds onto its color even in collapse, its magenta skin printed with cartoon cherries and beaded with condensation. The "7" bends but doesn't break, its white curve visible through every fold.
Belebeau's high-contrast "poppy lighting" finds an obvious match in this piece: a drink already styled for maximum sweetness and color, crushed into something more sculptural. The cherries printed on the can, meant to sell flavor, read instead as pure pattern once the object stops being a beverage and becomes a subject.
The piece adds a new color and a new brand to Belebeau's ongoing series of crushed cans, continuing his interest in consumer packaging as a study in color, form, and the afterlife of things built to be thrown away.
It appeals to collectors drawn to object-as-icon photography, saturated color studies, and the pop sensibility Belebeau brings to material most people never look at twice.
