This series of collages present a selection of gallery booths, displayed in prestigious international art fairs – previously selected as ‘best booths’ by platforms such as artnet or Artsy –, in contemporary art institutions. The booth is literally cut out from the found photograph, and placed on a found photograph of the museum, emulating plausible situations.
This gesture contemplates the possibility of the gallery booth becoming a new artistic form – derived from the artistic installation – with its own autonomy in the near future – some ideas developed in the video Boothworks –, with a space in the collections of prominent art institutions.
