Candy girl
“Candy Girl” offers a Portrait of Perversion. Khan, as the protagonist of this video, shows us at first an innocent face, singing the song with a deeply silent film style expression and showing slowly during the video his psychotic will to possess candy girl, to be candy girl. His deprivation is a kind of detoxification. He needs Candies, He’s candy. He’s also the candy man of the situation, like men distributing candies around, but interested in perversion and sexuality. Candy girl is for Khan his Oedipus Complex. He’s Oedipus. She is his Mother and Lover, She is the reflection of his character, He wants to be her. She’s his Drug, she’s nasty. The contrast between the Sepia colors Photography of Khan and the fabulous colors of the candies on the background builds a very suggestive atmosphere. Candy Girl is actually an icon. It means we do not see a physical person, but more a kind of obsessive image of a provocant woman, remembering the legend of Adam and Eva. Khan is Adam but he is the reason of the original sin of the creation, not the Candy Girl. Khan reflects this provocant image. The Background is also very important, Illustration with animated figures refers to a fantastic pervert world.
