Dreaming in Hannover
8th May – 21st July 2002
Contribution to the „Interventions" exhibition
Sprengel Museum Hannover, Germany
| In his contribution to the “Interventions“ exhibition, Gislason spoke to three non- Europeans living in Hanover, namely Yasin Baban (an Iraqi Kurd), Abdou Karim Sané (Senegal) and Teresa Fantasny (Philippines). The results of the conversations formed the basis for a large installation at the museum atrium, consisting of a structure made of ten rooms that could be viewed from above and, in some cases, entered. The central section consisted of three rooms, one each for the interviewed people, and each containing a typed account of their lives. On one side, the three rooms led onto a series of smaller ones painted in 19 different colours. On the other, it provided views of a room with currents of air moving curtains made of fabrics from the countries of origin of the three participants. |
