Marina Faust - Untitled

Marina Faust ́s (1950 in Vienna, living and working in Vienna and Paris) practice originated in documentary photography before moving on to filmmaking, sculpture and boundary pushing photography. She collaborated with Martin Margiela for almost 20 years and her edition shows the iconic helmet bag from his F/W 2006 collection.
A police-helmet transformed into a bag stands at the edge between care and control and got only produced three times. Her edition shows this item, which looks like something everyday, but is actually very special and rare, on a plinth. 
It is dedicated to Faust ́s longtime partner, Nicolas Jasmin (*1967 in Toulouse, living and working in Vienna and Paris), who juxtaposes it with a visual poem.
