Curatorial context

Foam proudly presents 'Adding, Adding, Adding,' an exhibition featuring new work by the Swiss duo Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs, recognized with the prestigious Foam Paul Huf Award. The jury lauded their skill as "true illusionists intent on pushing against the boundaries of the medium," highlighting their ability to engage audiences with the magic of photographic image-making. The exhibition showcases new films built on the dynamic interplay between illusion and reality in urban environments. Exclusively for Foam, the artists created a site-specific installation in the museum's garden. Onorato & Krebs have been collaborating since 2003, pushing the boundaries of photography, sculpture, and installation. Their work often playfully collides reality with fiction, and humor with seriousness, demonstrating a profound understanding of photographic history and a unique approach to constructing images as if they were sculptures. Their breakthrough came with the book 'The Great Unreal' (2009), which critically examined clichés of the American landscape and their photographic representation. Beyond this exhibition, their work has been featured in numerous international institutions and collections, and limited edition prints are available through the Foam webshop.
