Playful Subversion - Beni Bischof
"Playful Subversion", conceived by Swiss artist Beni Bischof for its Austrian premiere at Salzburg's FOTOHOF, lives up to its promise as a practical and highly entertaining vade mecum for which the great icons of the culture industry have been salami-sliced. The cosmos of images - a contrasting panorama of our postmodern media culture - creates a subversive attraction that's hard to escape. The juxtaposition of black-and-white reproductions not only deconstructs and profanes many heroes, but also creates diverse spaces of association for pleasurable appropriation.
