Description

Pollution is often perceived as an invisible matter, geographically and politically undesirable and neglected still constantly present. Dust is a space-temporal archive, retracing humans and actions in physical reality.  Like an archive, pollution records and preserves information about past events, ideologies, and behavior. Milanese air of billions of particles that open a crack in hegemonic thinking, showing how cultural production, as well as every other activity carried out by humans and their history, is reflected in the tangible world by translating into toxic material. The rug is a material testimony made by pollution samples that Gaia collected from the facade of the Milanese building. the artist used a technique from the field art restoration of casting liquid organic latex on the surface and once is solidified to capture the layer of dust, creating contaminated tissue that embodies and maps the air in the different Milanese neighborhoods.
