Images from the series ICONS

"This series by Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger sends a major blast of fresh air through the eternal circulation of icons."

"Rather than appropriating the photographs for political purposes, they inject them with their brand of visual humour, as they invite us to take a close look at the composition of their images."

"It is a playful reminder that the great icons of history do not simply appear out of nowhere but are also informed by a constructive will: ‘You don’t take a photograph, you make it!’"

Excerpts from the text by curator Florian Ebner from the book DOUBLE TAKE.
