Daniel & Geo Fuchs
Galerie Magda Danysz, Paris
The artists created portraits of toys in large-sized prints: American comic heroes of the 1960s; muscle-bound fantasy figures; Japanese Manga superstars; actors and directors such as Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Quentin Tarantino; even world-leaders such as George W. Bush and his opponent Saddam Hussein; or artists such as Andy Warhol who are presented as toys.
The main theme related to the photographic work Daniel & Geo Fuchs have been doing since 1993 is a research about borders and border experiences. As Michael Buhrs, director Museum Villa Stuck in Munich writes it « As the point of departure for their photo series TOYGIANTS , the artists Daniel and Geo Fuchs use the, to a certain extent, highly political world of toy figures, which are sold and traded internationally.
