Daniel Faust Museum Faust 1981–2010
The first solo exhibition in Italy of works by Daniel Faust is devoted
to “Museum” photographs taken by the artist from 1981 to 2010.
The subjects of this vast collection are strident, highly original details
or views, captured in single shots in museums around the world. This
collection, which is also indirectly a travel diary, reveals his particular
interest in curious collections, often with an eye on popular culture.
In these works, Faust focuses on objects, displays, demonstrations of
rhetoric, educational failures, ridiculous mirabilia and shadow plays.
Through Faust’s eyes, the museum loses its authoritativeness as an
institution and becomes a model of the world, with all its monstrosities,
paradoxes and endearments. The artist expropriates the scientific
approach to collecting, ordering and display, and applies a wholly
“other”, rather uncanny sensitivity to it. The “Museum” complete series
consists of 7500 images from 150 diverse museums. A selection of 50
photographs, specially printed for the event, is on show. The exhibition
will be accompanied by a text by Eva Fabbris.
All the works: Archival Pigment Photographs, 19 x 28 cm, ed. 1/3
