Habibti Western is a coping mechanism , a shared safe space , a domestic space – but it is only a scene , a set in my movie . An anachronistic quest to move forward and backwards to find closure through the challenging and reinterpreting of notions of patriotism, chauvinism , symbolism and superstitions.
Patch-working , piecing together into ritualistic hybrid functional objects within the space is how the scene is set in this home away from home . I merge different fictional cultures to shine a light on the power of cosmopolitanism.
This is a typical tradition chair from a fictive cosmopolitan place.
