The serie « The Great Unreal » is a work realised by the two swiss photographers Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs. Five of those photographs belong to the Cnap. Realized during road trips along the mythical USA landscapes, the artists want to sow doubt in the spectator’s spirit through fun processes and so renew the traditionnal representation of this kind of scenery.
This work is registered in the inventory of the National Collection of Contemporary Art, that the CNAP has, as its mission, to enrich, preserve and disseminate.
Thanks to Pascal Beausse, head of the photographic collections, and to the teams of the Centre National des Arts Plastiques who have allowed this project to be carried out.Coordination: Communications and Information at CNAP
