Work from his oeuvre.
“Marius Engh’s work seems to derive from the encounter between minimalist forms and prosaic elements. This apparent formalism, however, dissolves upon closer observation, in an unexpectedly political twist. That is why in “Lycanthropic Chamber”, his solo exhibition at Standard in 2008, one could see nothing that physically resembled a savage beast: the wolfmen were hidden behind the signatures under photos of identical airplanes, fictitious identities that the US government used to authorize the air transport of prisoners of war to countries whose judicial systems accept “alternative” interrogation methods” – Mousse Magazine
