Summary
Conceptual artist Margret Eicher (born 1955 in Viersen, Germany) became known for her large-format tapestries, in which she combines the Baroque form of the narrative tapestry with the visual language of today’s information media. She processes found, public photographs of events in a way that questions their supposedly objective approach and truthful content. By means of artistic appropriation, trivial, everyday mass-media motifs are lent a sense of magical strangeness. Befitting the title Once Upon a Time (in Mass Media), this publication presents photographs of some of the artist’s most important works -- taken outdoors against the historical backdrop of the Schwetzingen Castle garden -- and counteracts the sensual, poetic images with analytical essays on such themes as the consumption, reception, and constructed power of visual media worlds. --Provided by publisher.
