Based on the life of French 60’s pop star Gigi Gaston, who went from teen idol to queen of the scandal magazines, the exhibition displays a wide collection of media documenting her life. archival photographs, posters, record covers, magazine and newspaper articles, a music video shot by Jean Luc Godard, documentary footage, and assorted ephemera.
But in reality, Gigi never existed. Her entire archive has been meticulously fabricated by artist Josh Gosfield.
