CARD QUEENS, 2011
96 by 130 cm.
Paper, prints, wood.
Anna Agtma "in collaboration” with Michel Pinel, photographer.
The “QUEEN” is a playing card with a picture of a queen on it. In the standard English playing car deck, the Queen and the other face cards represent no one in particular. In contrast, French deck manufacturers traditionally assigned each court card a particular historical or mythological personage.
The ANNA AGTMA playing card deck shows 4 queens, models of the French photographer Michel Pinel:
Queen of Perth
Queen of Mouriès
Queen of the Alpilles
Queen of Body paint
