During Unseen Amsterdam you can get a taste of Caminantes, the new project of Lorenzo Vitturi (1980, Italy), on show at Foam from 18 October onwards. The body of work of Vitturi investigates urban changes beyond Western cities, processes of cultural mixing and their complexities, and the movement of people and goods in a globalised world. Playing with the combination of reality and fiction, mixing photography, sculpture, painting, and performance, he builds temporary sets in his studio, drawing from specific geographical environments.

JAYA PELUPESSY | GALLERY CAROLINE O'BREEN @UNSEEN FAIR
Frame Variation, from the series Flatten Image, 2018 © Jaya Pelupessy/ Galerie Caroline O'Breen (detail)
Foam Talent Jaya Pelupessy (1989, NL) exhibits new work at Unseen Amsterdam. Central to his work are the processes that lead to autonomous images; an examination of the extent to which the process itself and the visibility of that process strengthens, invalidates, or delivers new autonomous images. Countless ‘loops’ within his own work emerge, within which reproductions are again reproduced. More work by Jaya Pelupessy can be found in the Talent Issue of Foam Magazine.

For Tohu wa-Bohu, Stephan Keppel scratches the surface of the Nijmegen’s reconstruction buildings. Most parts of the city centre were totally destroyed by a United Army Air Force bombing during World War II. The remarkable tiles are an important part of the postwar architecture. Keppel translates this grid into risoprints for the Tohu wa-Bohu project. Visit his booth at the Unseen Amsterdam book market to learn more about his project.
