Looking for Jesus – Museo Marino Marini – Florença – Itália, 2014 Installation: Lightjet impressions, copper plates, handwritten acrylic plates, Turkish plate with rope and dates, pink cedar box. Looking for Jesus consists of a wall painting, 20 photographs on copper plate, 16 works in acrylic, hand written white charts, a tray with dates, and a wooden urn for collecting votes. The piece was created during his residency at Darat Al Funun, Amman, Jordan. In this work, the artist tackled the need to ask what other image might be plausible for a new, non-westernized face of Jesus. People on the street were asked to indicate, from a selection of 20 pictures of men from Amman, which one, in their opinion, could be the new face of Jesus. Talking about an image of a prophet is a very sensitive issue in Islamic culture, but with this pretext, a wealth of comment was added to the conversations. These were then shared in the exhibition, where visitors were given the opportunity to vote for their favourite Jesus, using pits from fresh dates that were consumed at the time the selection was made.

title: The club also offered another, very intense life; underground, albeit very evident. It wasn’t necessary to talk much; this was one of the advantages, words were kept to a minimum; things happened instinctively, all it took was a simple glance.

title: The sea swallows a man every day. And, yes, there was something forbidden about the club. However, once the sense of danger had been overcome, soaked in salt and courage, they enjoyed every moment as if it was their last, toasting freedom. I then had an irresistible urge to reach the sea.

80 photographs and pages from the book Love and Happiness in Marriage, by Fritz Kahn. Variable dimensions. The project sets out from the hypothesis that the moral structures that underpin middle-class relationships that wind across generations that are equally conservative, absorbing changes of customs only as things to be consumed and talked about. This understanding of the moral ambiguousness emerges from the book Amor e Felicidade no Casamento (Love and Happiness in Marriage by author Fritz Kahn, 1960) and triggers situations engendered by two characters in nuclear families – which was an emerging trend when the book appeared. The subjective censorship contained in the text of the book contaminates procedures for doing the work, such as the use of mould in an attempt to control the action of time on memory.
