VICE Magazine
VICE checked out Toronto’s Nuit Blanche 2012, and came across the work of Hermann & Audrey. There, the ever-witty members of VICE intended to note what makes the difference between art and garbage, beginning with Hermann & Audrey’s installation that involved framed artwork in a local park. Trees were lit with romantic lights and hundreds of frames hung from branches revealing love letters between two people for everyone to see. VICE enjoyed the “artsy” side of the installation, saying, “because they posted it to a tree, and not to the wall, it is art. See how this works? Winner: Photo on a tree.”
