"United" is conceived as relational artwork deeply rooted in the artist's exploration around the theme of civil rights of minorities.
Interaction with the audience unfolds through a filing cabinet comprising 132 slots: by inserting a €5 banknote, participants acquire a limited edition piece that encourages active involvement in the pursuit of equal rights. The banknotes, progressively painted by the artist, are subsequently repositioned in the filing cabinet to form an evocative rainbow flag.
"United" also embraces any potential boycott, transforming into a social experiment that mirrors the ebb and flow between allied and non-allied forces.
The installation is itinerant until the slots will be full, and thus the rainbow flag will be completed.
TECNIQUE
Wood and plexiglass filing cabinet.
5 euro banknotes donated by partecipants, hand painted by the artist
