FAUX REAL:
THE BLACK MARKET OF COUNTERFEIT LUXURY
Exhibition Catalog
An investigation into the black
market phenomenon and domestic explosion of "purse parties." Curated
and designed for a gallery exhibition, Faux Real catalogs our
status-envy culture exhibited through conceptual dualities of the
interior/exterior and the high/low aspects of luxury/counterfeit
culture.
----
The catalog is narrated by three essays (The Material Fictions of
Desire, The Synthetic Ideal, and The Habitus of Elizabeth Hurley:
Celebrity, Fashion and Identity Branding) that are simultaneously
designed to deconstruct the experience one receives when buying 'the
real thing.' Separated within its corresponding essay, layers of
typography, logos, and iconic imagery are overprinted onto the
'glistening' pages of designer catalog collections, fashion magazines,
and luxury collateral.
