Daniele Buetti (1955) - Could I be unreceptive to external forms?, 2000 Light Box cm 86 x 68 x 9 | 33.9 x 26.8 x 3.5 in. Caption label titled, dated and signed in black ink on the verso The Swiss visual artist Daniele Buetti critically reflects on the theme of beauty starting with photographs on which he intervenes to modify them in the most diverse ways. In this case, he has used the light of this light box and the inscription to allude to the glitter of the media. The work is a balance between fashion and advertising.
