Wallpaper Marilyn was conceived by Philippe Parreno on the occasion of his first major solo exhibition in Germany, at the Gropius Bau in Berlin. The wallpaper depicts irises, printed with phosphorescent pigment on paper.
The pattern is a subtle reference to Marilyn, the artist’s 2012 film, which conjures up the presence of Marilyn Monroe in the set of a suite at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, where the actress lived in the 1950s. Although not directly visible on the set, the wallpaper is described by the voice-over impersonating the voice of Marilyn Monroe.
《玛丽莲壁纸》是菲利普·帕雷诺为他在柏林格罗皮乌斯美术馆举办的首次德国个展所设想的。壁纸描绘了鸢尾花的图案,以夜光油墨印于纸上。
该图案引用了艺术家2012年的电影《玛丽莲》,影片发生在玛丽莲·梦露曾于50年代住过的纽约华尔道夫酒店套房中,并仿造她的身影。尽管在场并不直接可见,但在用玛丽莲·梦露声音旁白中描述了这款壁纸。
