These copper rings set off
a theme of adornment and appropriation, like «healing» copper bracelets bolstered onto Western wrists, making it even more affecting to realise that the sturdy, industrial pillar they're attached to is of course a sheet of metal: completely hollow.
The artefacts and artworks are separated into six
themes: Domestic Life, Decoration &
Adornment, Fertility & the Body, Religion & Burial, Trade & Agriculture and War & Battle, mimicking the curatorial choices
of historical museum exhibitions.
