The new illy Art Collection is a play of shapes and colors that recall the typical motif of the Keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress, decorated with fishing nets and olive leaves. A formal reinterpretation that tells a profound story of work, sacrifice and interpersonal relationships.
Born in Beirut to a Palestinian family, Mona Hatoum moved to London in 1975 after the outbreak of the civil war in Lebanon. She began his career in the mid-80s with a series of performances and video works and then focused, in the early 90s, mainly on installations and sculptures.
