Slick 11
Running parallel to her solo show, her installation 159/295 will be presented in the projects section of Slick 11 art fair (20-23 October 2011). An emblematic piece, this magnificent Phoenix ready for take-off is composed of 159 paper kites. Borrowing from heraldic and religious iconography, suspended using red thread, the kites refer to the 159 people on board South African airlines flight number 295 which fell to the abyss of the Indian Ocean in 1987 and later became known as Helderberg. 159/295 alludes to the Chinese traditional ceremony of commemoration where kites are released into the sky to symbolize the thoughts of the living towards the dead. According to this tradition, the kites carry the grief, good predictions replace mourning.
