Using thousands of pieces of discarded junk and debris arranged on the floor of his studio in Brazil, Vik Muniz recreated Titian's mythological painting of Icarus, the figure who flew too close to the sun. The resulting composition was then photographed and printed as a large-scale chromogenic print, transforming humble refuse into a luminous, painterly image. The work reflects Muniz's ongoing exploration of perception, illusion, and the tension between worthless materials and the iconic images they are made to imitate.
