Larissa Sansour / Søren Lind
Works
Video installation, 2016
In this video work by Larissa Sansour and Søren Lind, a fictional woman resistance fighter describes the burying of porcelain as a subversive act. She buries ceramic objects as supposed traces of a bygone civilisation. The work presents both the past of a collective as well as the story of a personal destiny. Sansour and Lind’s video displays history as a complex network in which construction and fiction blend in search of an autonomous narrative.
