Lot Essay

“My working process has always involved the recycling of both physical and conceptual aspects of media; my thinking process has always been a survival-training course in how to cope with irreversible contradictions.” (V. Muniz, Vik Muniz: Reflex, exh. cat., Miami Art Museum, Miami, 2005, p. 149)
