This is a detail from Pitfalls, a solo exhibition by BENEDIKTE BJERRE that opened a few days ago at Salon Kennedy in Frankfurt.

The exhibition takes its starting point from a prominent real-estate scam uncovered in 2013, involving the S&K Immobilien firm. Besides their fraud, the heads of the company were widely known for their extravagant lifestyle.

Pitfalls consists of a series of prints as well as autonomous sculptures that resemble dollhouses versions of postmodern constructions. By using architectural models that she placed on the exhibition floor, BJERRE not only highlights the act of observation, but also exploits the mnemonic power of the miniature to consider how infantile passions pervade adult pursuits.

Pitfalls by BENEDIKTE BJERRE is on view at Salon Kennedy, Frankfurt until September 9, 2016.
