The AXXIS Series highlights how works of art, often featured in publications like AXXIS Magazine, are removed from their artistic context and reduced to mere commodities. The selected images showcase renowned Colombian artists' works displayed in upscale homes, where architecture, interior design, and decor elevate the social and economic status of the owner. The magazine photographs are accompanied by brief texts that emphasize the artists' prestige, focusing more on the artist's fame than the intrinsic value of the artwork itself. This reflects a broader reality where cultural formation, social prestige, and the dynamics of consumption are intertwined, revealing how art often becomes a symbol of economic and social status.
