CASPER FAASSEN – RECOLLECTION SERIES
MORE ABOUT THE SERIES
Over the years, Casper Faassen has been studying the tension that exists between ownership and art. Both the underlying motives that drive people to collect art, but also the culture of appropriation amongst artists themselves or even between countries. He created this Recollection series of Delft vases especially for The Photography Show by AIPAD, thus emphasizing the link between Holland in the 17th and 18th centuries and its American colonies. Delftware was the most common ceramic export from Holland to America. Long after the colonial presence of the Dutch, they continued to dominate the trade in ceramics across the Atlantic. Conversely, the Dutch kept the tobacco imported from the USA in Delftware jars in their warehouses.
“Expressing myself mostly through photo- graphy, I feel more than ever that I’m stopping time; boxing these objects that are, or were once owned by museums, admired by collectors, stolen by coun-tries, or painted by artists. The final layer of craquelé symbolizes time leaving its traces.”
Casper Faassen
