Exhibition Photographs
June 17, 2014
The exhibition “Treasures in Disguise” centers on four communist-era buildings that are, with one exception, not in use today. Large-scale section models, combined with wallpapered photographs, brings to the fore the impressive interiors and spatial qualities of these buildings, drawing attention to both their unfortunate condition and great potential. In a blog post below, we’ve described in greater depth the strategy behind the exhibition’s scenography; here are some photos of the exhibition on display at the Montenegro Pavilion in Venice!
