The reproduction of objects
# 118 | The value of things. The objects of Peter Fischli and David Weiss, by Ileana Parvu.
Since the early days of the 1990’s, Peter Fischli and David Weiss have replicated ordinary household items using an expanding polyurethane foam, robbing this material world of its very materiality. What remains, then, of these useless objects? What meaning can we find in this flattening of reality, and why did these artists choose objects already used and consumed? Ileana Parvu studies their work as signs to be deciphered.
