This installation presents a series of photographic images on different media – such as canvas, paper, vinyl, fabric and moving image – displayed in a manner that resembles a contemporary art group exhibition.
The images belong to a collection of aerial views posted by international art curators on their Instagram accounts, that I gathered over a period of two years.
By this appropriation–through–exhibition, I aim to emphasize the role of the curator as a producer of images through shows, publications and other media, and seek to invert the established power roles between artist and curator.
