Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz:
Wayward Bound
March 1–May 31, 2009
Artist team Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz (NY) use the medium of
snow globes to create dark narratives and strange situations that
straddle reality and dream worlds. Through odd human interactions,
alienating pilgrimages, and hostile situations, these tiny microcosms
relate to the human condition and our experiences as we travel through
life. Martin & Muñoz hand sculpt these miniature landscapes and
then set them inside water and glass. Large panoramic photographs
documenting these narratives complement the globes, exaggerating the
scenes to a cinematic scope, and bringing to life the striking detail
found in the small, icy worlds.
Objects often associated with travel, serving as vacation memento,
these globes are darkly humorous, unconventional and not your typical
souvenir.
