Installation at the Arsenale, Venice, IT, Arte Laguna Prize 2016
Drawing on Gestalt theory’s notion of the “unified whole” and the idea that we frequently perceive separate elements as being joined together, as for instance, filling in the blanks, where a huge piece of the floor is hidden underneath the furniture. This carpet is a reference to Persian rugs. It is made of spices, suggesting that we often come to know another culture through their food.

Shown on the digital façade of the Jackman Goldwasser Catwalk Gallery at the Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago, 2015.

The viewer’s presence is registered via sensors that cause the wallpaper to erase itself.
The initially pristine ornamental symmetry slowly yields to entropy.
