Walls
Museums are considered places to appreciate art and history;
this appreciation often takes the form of reverent gazing at
artwork and conscientious reading of the explanatory boards nearby.
But what if the artwork gazed back at the museumgoers? Would they
see the rapt attention of fans meeting with celebrities, or
something different? This is the question explored in The Museums
Ghosts.Andrs Wertheim is an Argentinian photographer who began
taking pictures as a child, and went on to study photography with
the filmmaker Horacio Coppola. He began exhibiting his work in
1984, and his earliest work primarily captured real situations in
black and white film. His more recent exhibitions, however, have
focused on surreal, even philosophical themes. In his Alienated
World series (2010-2013), he created disorientating, symmetrical
mirror images of cities, buildings and landscapes. His aim was to
make a personal statement about the strange relationship we humans
have with our planet.
The dream-like world where the museums ghosts and humans meet is
engaging and immersive. By presenting his own creative vision of
what goes on in museums while their visitors arent paying
attention, Wertheim takes his audience on a fantastic flight of
fancy and at the same time invites them to consider their own
behavior in museums and their relationship with art. Each photo
gives a voice to the ignored works of art that fill museum walls,
bringing the museums ghosts to life.
