‘If one were looking to tie this work down via iconography (precisely the wrong approach), one might be tempted to see Angeletti as here pursuing a semi-oblique feminist agenda orbiting around performance, role-play, adornment, containment. But she seems more interested in scrambled typologies and the uneasy pleasures of, to quote René Magritte, the treachery of images. If pre-existing, these photographs meant one thing in a catalogue, museum or wherever, and now they signify something else or, intrinsically, nothing at all: detached, rivulets in a larger directional flow. ‘Thanks, Internet,’ such work murmurs. Like many artists in their twenties, Angeletti wants to denote that presiding context without directly addressing it, performing its knock-on effect on materialist media.’

About the Artist
Born 1984 in Marseille, Marie Angeletti lives and works in New York. Working with sculpture, video, photography, and installation, Angeletti’s freewheeling practice responds to the contingencies of everyday experiences. As the context shifts, the work remains in a state of flux.

About the Publisher
MÖREL (founded in 2008/2009) specialises in publishing works by both established and emerging artists. MÖREL views the book as an important aspect of an artist’s practice and as a powerful cultural conduit.
Approaching each project as a collaboration, MÖREL actively engages with artists throughout the conception, editing, and design phases. The goal is to craft an artist’s book that embraces idiosyncrasies, deliberately steering away from the conventions of traditional publisher-produced books.
