Hellen Ascoli: The World Upside Down, Proyectos Ultravioleta booth, Art Basel Hong Kong
We managed the fabrication of the CNC wooden frames Hellen Ascoli’s installation The World Upside Down presented by Guatemalan gallery Proyectos Ultravioleta at Art Basel Hong Kong as part of the Discoveries section in booth 1C47. The CNC fabrication was supported by Fab Lab To Kwa Wan.
Through her innovative use of traditional materials and techniques, Ascoli invites viewers to reconsider the familiar and the foreign, the enduring and the ephemeral. Her work, poetic in nature, encourages broader discussions about the impacts of migration and the dynamics of power and expression within different cultural contexts, and the nuances that we often fail to register, translate, and fully understand.
