  • Front of 2009 Michaël Borremans Taking Turns David Zwirner exhibition invitation card showing a near-square colour film still from Taking Turns (2009), 35mm film transferred to DVD: two figures seen from behind in close proximity, both with short blonde hair, wearing dark clothing, their heads slightly turned toward each other against a very dark, almost black background; the image is soft-focus and atmospherically lit, creating a sense of psychological tension, doubling, and uneasy intimacy.

David Zwirner, 519 West 19th Street, New York
20.5 × 20.5 cm
Offset print on card; film still from Taking Turns, 2009, 35mm film transferred to DVD
24 February – 25 March 2009

Issued for Michaël Borremans’s third solo exhibition at David Zwirner, and the U.S. presentation and world premiere of his film Taking Turns. A restrained square-format invitation: film still on one side, pale administrative exhibition details on the reverse.

The blurred double figure connects directly to Borremans’s wider interest in staged bodies, psychological atmosphere, repetition, and uneasy theatricality. Two figures seen from behind, heads inclined toward each other, identities withheld — the image operates as both film document and autonomous pictorial object.

The object sits between gallery announcement, film still, and collectible Borremans ephemera. As a printed support from the world premiere of a significant film work, it carries a specific documentary weight beyond the standard exhibition invitation.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Light surface rubbing and minor handling marks consistent with period gallery ephemera.

Shipping and handling included.
