GREGOR HILDEBRANDT „ROBIN WRIGHT“ (2023)
ink jet print, plastic cases from audio cassettes, inlays in wooden case
Gregor Hildebrandt's cassette shelves reflect the artist's insatiable interest in music and cinema. These works are inspired by the shelves commonly used during the golden age of analogue media to store cassettes. They depict paintings or portraits that have been cut out and then affixed to the cassettes. The piece "Robin Wright" features a portrait of the American actress Robin Wright. By exposing some cassette inserts, the cutouts provide access to the music archive metaphorically housed within the shelf.
