born 1989 in Saint-Saulve (FR), lives and works in Vienna (AT)
About
- The exhibition features works from two recent series in which Hélène Fauquet prints images found on the internet directly onto pressed wooden panels.
- The first group depicts amateur photos of retro design mirrors, photographed in impromptu photo sessions, for listings on various online resale platforms.
- Unintentionally, these banal photos of mirrored plastic bubble panels provide a fisheye perspective of the photographer’s private home and feed the unsuspecting viewer with an overload of personal information.
- The stained glass window motifs in Fauquet’s second series also reference themes of private life and voyeurism. These works provide a wry comment on Western society’s desire for domestic privacy and the promise of refinement that accompanies ornate domestic embellishments.
