Career
Influenced by the Situationist book Society of the Spectacle (1967) by Guy Debord, Bucquoy considers life in the 21st century to be a permanent theatrical performance. His films contain many references to the psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan and one of his movies has even taken a title by one of the books of the pupils of Lacan: Louisiana jouissance des hystériques by the psychiatrist Lucien Israël. He was also influenced by the artist Marcel Mariën and the writer Raoul Vaneigem (The Book of Pleasures).
The term "sexual" in his first movie Louisiana vie sexuelle des Belges 1950-1978 means affectionate.
His work renders ridiculous the false seriousness of the media and its "stars" who act as collaborators of this system of massive distraction. This is the reason why he is an accomplice of the entarteur Noël Godin who threw pies at major figures of business as Bill Gates, culture: Bernard-Henri Lévy and politics: Nicolas Sarkozy and that he celebrates his yearly coup d"état of Belgium as an art performance or happening just like his musée du slip.
