.:. art / three rooms for the world 

Mona Hatoum

more pictures .:. What's probably the most advanced exhibition centre for contemporary art in town is offering part of its post-industrial premises to an outstanding artist these months. The three gigantic rooms of the Prada Cisterna building must certainly be visited.
.:. First room. A spider’s web of transparent glass spheres above. Everything is connected like in the World Wide Web. Also, everything is suspended.
.:. Second room. A planisphere of translucent glass balls on the ground, as red as blood (or as passion). They represent Planet Earth’s continents according to the Gall-Peters projection, less distorted than in the Mercator traditional world map. Don't try to walk across them, though. You would stumble, and they would crash.
.:. Third room. A huge geometric grid-like structure, perhaps of a concrete building, is alternatively constructed and destroyed. A hardly visible engine does the job live, either way. Does all this resemble the world as we know it today?
.:. The three-folded, site specific work comes as a blend of previous ideas by Hatoum (Beirut, 1952), now turned into a project.
