Les Boîtes
1961
“Snare-pictures: randomly found objects, ordered or disordered, are fixedas they are.” (Spoerri)
Daniel Spoerri first had the idea of fixing found “object situations” to a support in 1960. The composition is tied to the randomness of the encounter and the artist's view of the humblest and most trivial scenes of everyday life. “Only the plane changes: as soon as the result is called a painting, that which was horizontal becomes vertical” (Spoerri). The work holds up in plain view an intimate story touching on personal and collective memory, real and fantasised.
