INSTALLATION VIEWS

CRAFT

November 25, 2025

Photography by SERVICE

On the occasion of the newly published book CRAFT—Nicolas Trembley’s visual essay on craft, exhibition form, and the politics of display—we present his past show CRAFT at Francesca Pia in Zürich. The display of the show consists of large surfaces made of plywood built low to the ground, a point-of-view which allows our visitors to explore the show from a fitting perspective.
