Crushed Boga Can
PHOTOGRAPHER: ARTHUR BELEBEAU
A green can folds in on itself, a large blue circular emblem surviving mostly intact near the crease. Arabic script spells "Boga" across the design, with "Depuis 1947" and "0 Calories" printed in French alongside it.
Boga is a Tunisian soda, and this can shows Boga Lim, its clear citrus and lemon-lime variant. Belebeau's high-contrast "poppy lighting" sharpens the blue and green contrast, turning the emblem's concentric rings into something closer to a target or a whirlpool once cropped this close.
The piece extends Belebeau's ongoing series of crushed cans into Tunisia, widening its frame of reference beyond the American packaging that anchors much of the earlier work.
It appeals to collectors drawn to object-as-icon photography, color and pattern studies, and the way Belebeau's series keeps finding new material outside a single culture's shelf.
