Title:Museum Collection (British 1720-30). Maslen & Mehra’s, ‘Museum Collection’ recontextualizes a series of museum objects; transforming them from static objects usually housed in permanent collections worldwide to an altogether temporary and ephemeral plane. The transience of culture and nature is vividly portrayed in a series of photographs. This series see the artists employing their distinctive technique of placing mirrored sculptures in different contexts and photographing them with a medium format film camera. Featured amongst the museum collection of shoes are British 18th century shoes, Kabkabs from 19th Century Turkey, Chopine from 17th century Italy, and contemporary examples by Vivienne Westwood and Christian Louboutin.
