Fanfiction Permanent Collection
Fictional exhibition, 2018
Project Statement
During an installation at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, viewers were invited to imagine themselves as statues in the ICA’s permanent collection. Participants were photographed posing as a statue they felt represented themselves, created a name for their fictional statue, and selected a stone from which their statue would be made. Professional and amateur digital artists were commissioned to create renderings of the statues, which were superimposed on photos of the ICA’s permanent collection gallery space.
