Matej Košir is a master of illusion. His laboratory is the image archive of art history. Crossing the the genres of art he transforms the still lifes of famous past masters into sculptures and reproduces them by the modern medium of photography. Now, which one is the original and which one the copy? The Slovenian artist questions how we perceive and deal with those masterpieces in the age of mass media and mass reproduction - and he reveals how icons of art history become sickly-sweet fetishes.
