Maia Gusberti’s series – Options for Walls – will be exhibited at the Biel/Bienne Festival of photography from August 28 until September 20, 2015.
Options for Walls is an appropriation of space using photographic images. A photo of a wall (Exhibition "Transform", 2013) was enlarged to the same size as the very surface that appears in the photograph, and was then mounted on that same surface as a series of black-and-white A4 laserprints. The displayed image is thus a copy and a documentation of itself. Transported from its original setting into a new exhibition space, the wall, considered now as an installation, is in its new institutional context. At each location, it is photographed again, and the new picture is again mounted on the wooden surface, which is transported to yet another new location. Each time it is placed in a new setting, the image becomes more complex, bringing with it its own exhibition history.
