A meditation on consumerism, from an artist known for her longtime engagement with the fashion world
Swiss conceptual artist Sylvie Fleury (born 1961) juxtaposes avant-garde garments by designers such as Thierry Mugler, Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier with an iconic work of Minimalism by Walter de Maria. Showcasing them side-by-side in the Bechtler Foundation (Zurich) window, Fleury transforms relics of consumerism into historical objects worthy of display in the art world. It is also an unprecedented insight into the artist's eccentric 1990s fashion collection.
