HOME OF THE OTHERS
2017
Video installation (two-channel with audio) and construction rests
Variable dimensions / Loop 14’18”
The House of Others (2017) reveals fragments of the daily lives of refugee immigrants in the Baobab camp and in the occupied ruins of an old penicillin factory in the city of Rome.
If immigration produces a spatial and temporal displacement, global politics continues to erect walls and promote temporal and subjective, but substantial and impassable boundaries.
There is no Self that is not also a prison from which to escape and, therefore, there is no Other. If there is no other, there can also be no home for that Other, not even as a way of speaking.
