2023

The work reconstructs the missing half of an Iranian nomadic carpet in the Ethnographic Collection of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD). It interweaves this with the myth of Arachne and Athena, exploring the question: Who weaves which narrative and for what purpose?”

The work is commissioned by SKD.
