Vik Muniz’s practice is guided by an interest in reframing and renaming materiality. Employing an innovative variety of sourced elements, including torn fragments of magazines and photos, food, wire, trash, and thread, Muniz meticulously reconstructs images across a wide range of subject matter: canonical works of art, landscapes, portraits, family pictures, and nature photography. These layers of physical reconstitution and translated mediums become embedded in the final composition, provoking for each viewer a reflexive experience of “when” and “how” an image takes form.
