Christoph Büchel: Monte di Pietà

The project includes historical and contemporary works, new installations and a vast selection of objects and documents.

Fondazione Prada, Venice, Santa Croce 2215, Venice, Italy

Building upon the rich historical tapestry of Ca’ Corner della Regina, this project weaves together spatial, economic, and cultural narratives. Central to this exploration is the concept of debt as both a societal foundation and a wielder of influence. It consists of a fictitious bankrupt pawnshop filled with diverse historical artifacts, contemporary artworks, and immersive installations.

Through diverse of historical artifacts, contemporary artworks, and immersive installations, the project delves into the multifaceted nature of debt and its role in shaping societies.

Christoph Büchel‘s contribution, “The Diamond Maker,” serves as a reflection of this investigation. By transforming his entire body of work into lab-grown diamonds, Büchel encapsulates the essence of wealth and its evolution over time.
