Gallery Tour: Peles Empire

A tour of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2013 with Peles Empire.

Peles Empire is an on-going collaborative work by artists Katharina Stöver and Barbara Wolff. The project borrows its name from the Romanian castle Peles, built between 1893 and 1913. Stöver and Wolff have reproduced ten rooms of the Peles castle since 2005, with the project existing in London, Frankfurt and Los Angeles. Based on the castle’s method of reproduction, images and objects are manipulated and translated into another 2D or 3D form. Stöver and Wolff also run an exhibition space in Stoke Newington, where other artists are invited to exhibit their work.
