About this artwork

From the series “A Lotus is A Lotus”, this piece deals with the embodied manifestation of cultural phenomena in the digital and analogue object. Research on western desire for consumption of difference is the basis for a feverish dreamscape consisting of lenticular prints, textile works, sound-installations, objects and an artist book.

Quoting discourses around fake and folk the material of this installation is drawing lines between Mughal carpets in Western Museums, fake Balenciagas in Airbnb‘s adventurous journey to Beijing‘s illegal backdoor Pearl Market Shopping experience, almost authentic souvenir making straight from the ancient ancestors in Cairo and 3D stock models on online platforms. Anna Ehrenstein examines cultural phenomena through the material realm and the circulation of present-day exoctica.
