Description from the seller
Chez Vrony Zermatt
A photographic work of art by Marc Kronig
This unique work features a Polaroid photograph of the Chez Vrony restaurant in Zermatt. The characteristic exposure imperfections of the analogue instant photography process give the photograph its unmistakable expression. What may at first appear to be a flaw becomes an essential part of the artistic composition.
The photograph is overlaid with finely textured rice paper printed with the words “Chez Vrony Zermatt”. This additional layer creates a subtle distance between the subject and the viewer. The image feels remote, mysterious and almost like a fading memory.
The presentation underscores the work’s distinctive character: a deep-black mount provides a calm contrast to the photograph, while a solid oak frame lends the whole piece warmth, permanence and a sense of quality. An integrated hanging mechanism completes the meticulous finish.
The work was created by Zermatt photographer Marc Kronig, who has been exploring the medium of photography in depth for over 40 years. His many years of experience and his sensitivity to atmosphere, materiality and the unique moment!
A work between photography and object art – shaped by chance, memory and the unmistakable atmosphere of Zermatt.
