“On the occasion of the Gallery Weekend in Berlin, the Galerie Michael Haas will open its exhibition with works, or rather boxes, by Charles Matton. The boxes seduce the viewer into an idiosyncratic, imaginary and to some extent very bizarre world. How can reality be portrayed? Matton posed this question again and again and his preoccupation with it characterises the high quality of his works. The first boxes were created in the late seventies and were a further attempt to seek an answer to his question. Initially an instrument of support for photographic and painterly projects, they developed their own artistic independence and autonomy. The puppet theatre-like boxes show rooms such as Alberto Giacometti’s studio, a library, bedroom and imagined spaces with bizarre sculptures. The viewers immerse themselves in this microcosmos and are both perplexed and fascinated by the attention to detail and the perfection of the replicas and the objects inside them. Matton has succeeded in leading the viewer into a three-dimensional “paradise of the imagination”. Charles Matton was born in 1933 in Paris, where he also died in 2008.” Source text: Robert Fleck, der Blick (the gaze) (via Charles Matton - Galerie Michael Haas - English X) (more at Junkculture: Charles Matton: Enclosures)
