N’tra Le Mani Di Maria
durational performance, 2023
Galerie Durchgang, Basel
inherited cloths, pottery vessels, candles and
christian heirlooms
72 hours
Three days of mourning, reconciliation and coming to terms with the death of a close
relationship: mia nonna. Instead of celebrating christmas, I allowed my grief to take the place
it deserved, honoring our intimate relationship. The layout of her apartment was rebuilt, of
bricks from her garden, in which I then reinacted our most intimate religous and familiar sicilian
rituals. The inherited cloths, pottery vessels, candles and christian heirlooms used during the Reenactement as part of the performance remained on view in the installation during the
exhibition at the Galerie Durchgang in Basel.
