It is hard to think of one of Vik Muniz’s photos that I did not find interesting. In large part, this is because he seems to have chosen to work with only the most difficult mediums possible. Personally, I can always conceive an idea in my head, but I can never get it to come out on paper in that exact way, which makes it all the more amazing that Muniz can do it with hundreds of yards of string. From an aesthetic viewpoint, the string and sugar pictures came across as the most detailed and visually pleasing, however, the ones made with Pantone swatches were somehow quite interesting. Muniz himself mentions their resemblance to highly pixilated images, which brings up the question; would they still be as noteworthy if we didn’t have this concept to compare them to? It feels as though part of the draw is making the connection and relating it to past experiences. The sculptures that he mentions at the beginning were also interesting, because they were not memorable artworks within themselves, but when combined with a single phrase, such as “Pre-Columbian Coffee Maker,” they suddenly gain an entirely different value.
