“Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster's works are often characterized by biographical and literary hints. They are evolving narratives that can slowly be deduced from incomplete set pieces, from photographs, specially arranged interiors and personal details. These fragments are researched by Gonzalez-Foerster and interpreted as "clues" for the viewer, who then undertakes the "reparage" (Gonzalez-Foerster) of the story. "
For the 2015/2016 season in the Vienna State Opera , Gonzalez-Foerster designed the large picture (176 m²) “Helen & Gordon” - a homage to a famous photograph by Helen Frankenthaler , as part of the “Iron Curtain” exhibition series conceived by museum in progress Gordon Parks commissioned Life Magazine in the 1950s .
