Kolaj Magazine asked Luigi Galimberti Faussone to report on Art Basel Hong Kong 2014, which took place 15-18 May 2014. Two-hundred-forty-five galleries from 39 countries were represented, with paintings taking the lion’s share of exhibited works. Only a handful of collages or collage-related work was on display.
Nevertheless, collage was to be found at Art Basel Hong Kong and Faussone chose work from three galleries: de Sarthe Gallery (Hong Kong), OMR (Mexico City), and The Drawing Room Contemporary Art (Manila and Singapore).
About Troy Ignacio’s Echoes, Faussone wrote:
Echoes is a collage installation that is still under development: The artist keeps changing it and adding to it, as real estate developers do with Manila’s urban texture. The installation is made of photographs taken by the artist or collected by him in the flats of buildings that are soon to be demolished. A woman appears in one of the photos. Who is she? Is she an inhabitant of the house where this photo had been taken? Or has she never been there?
