Rome is not in Rome (Pt. II Mythology to Abattoir)

The installation Rome is not in Rome (Pt. II Mythology to Abattoir) is made up of strange luxury objects, fragments of architecture and animals with mythological features. The work reflects on how the museum, architecture and archaeology are powerful ideological instruments that have built the vision of entire civilisations and shaped a collective imagination, relating to the past through recurring categories and models.
A hybrid environment in which bodies seem about to find their place, and in which each person’s individual desires, political constraints and social conventions hang in the air. The work reflects ironically on the hierarchies and classifications of life in which we find ourselves entangled. The works take on fluid identities, able to generate assonances between different worlds and cultures, yet inevitably filtered through the artist’s visual culture.
