Edited with text by Oliver Zybok. Text by Giovanni Carmine.
These works by Swiss artist Valentin Carron (born 1977) tackle the issue of original and copy, of what tradition and identity can be. By reproducing familiar objects from his home country using new materials, he allows space for both their iconic meaning and for irony: for example, a pristine white edelweiss is exposed as pristine white kitsch.
