The signature is done with ballpoint at the lower part of the postcard. From a certain angle when the ink reflects the light one clearly detects the signature. This rather ephemeral handwriting makes the image undisturbed, and therefore very powerful.

Each photograph is a double exposure, made by either Peter Fischli or David Weiss taking pictures and then handing the camera over to the other, or perhaps not, rewinding the film, and shooting again on the same roll of film. The result is a kaleidoscopic world of double-vision
“We were interested in the element of chance,” says Peter Fischli, adding “On the theoretical side, the photographs tread on rather thin ice.” David Weiss affirms: “In fact, they tread quite a thin line: we want to seduce viewers with floral opulence. But you can’t exactly view them ingenuously, either.”

ca 200 x 250 x 120 cm

This certificate of authenticity has been signed more than several times and is eventually signed and dated in the lower left corner. This domestic installation was a proposal of Franck Bragigand after he got an open commission for a modest amount of money that was half of the heritage the owner of the basement got after her father died in 1999. The red painting on the wall and a red waste-paper basket were ‘added as a present’ to the installment of the owner’s renovated furniture. For some reason two years later a certificate was signed by the artist and dated “2001”.
