Vik Muniz: Photography and the Rebirth of Wonder
Chrysler Museum of Art
July 13—October 14, 2018 | 6360 sq ft
One of the most innovative artists working today, Muniz uses unconventional materials and photographic images that play with our process of perception. The São Paulo, Brazil native creates sculptural works from unusual materials like chocolate syrup, tomato sauce, magazine clippings, diamonds, and trash, which he then records with his camera. He calls the resulting images “photographic delusions” because they often resemble well-known images from the history of art and popular culture.
