"Programme de gouvernement" Adriana Garcia Galan, a Colombian aritst working in Paris, has transposed the French Presidential debate into a medium of modern urban folk art: Beatboxing. By doing so, she emphasizes a contentious dialogue between hip hip culture and politics that mirrors the original debate setting. The work is currently on display at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris.
Additionally, I think it is worth noting Sarkozy's role and comments as Interior Minister during the 2005 civil riots in Parisian outskirts. His allegations that organized planning was the root of the violence and use of the term "racaille" (translating to rabble or scum) disparaged the working class. The riots took place in areas that have a strong youth culture and population, some of which indentifies with and contributes to the international hip-hop movement.
Posted above is a clip from Wednesday's debate. Some of the English subtitles are not very accurate, so keep that in mind.
