![]() Home is where Marina's heart is (2010)
Gilded dry pomegranate in fabric draw-string bag Relational object borne out of an encounter with Marina. Home is where Marina’s heart is takes its cue from the iterant lifestyle which Marina lives, between Venice and Paris, and her political choice to occupy her home in Venice. Two questions are highlighted in this work, the notion of the home and ideas around mobility.The pomegranate itself is not indigenous to Venice and thus evokes notions of the Diaspora and Venice as a once important point of trade with the east. The relational object is intended to be a portable work, an object that could be easily carried in Marina’s pocket whilst she is traveling. |
