Cosima von Bonin — Marathon
Cosima von Bonin

Marathon

Marathon by Cosima von Bonin is a characteristically playful yet conceptually layered work that reflects the artist's ongoing interrogation of labor, leisure, and cultural production. Von Bonin's practice often blurs the boundaries between effort and idleness, and this piece continues her exploration of those themes through a deceptively casual aesthetic. The title evokes both endurance and spectacle, inviting viewers to consider the paradoxes embedded in artistic and social performance.
