Monumenti

The central portion of the exhibit is comprised of an installation made of twenty-three pedestals covered in Vietri ceramic tiles, which, during the inauguration, became a stage for twenty four performers- all Capuana district. On the central pedestal, which is the largest of all, are a mother and her daughter. The performers do not interact with the public, and at the end of the performance are substituted by and equal number of papier-maché statues, made in Nola. The statues resemble the performers, as testified by the videos presented on the mini screens, in which the immigrants tell their personal stories along with their photographic portraits printed on a brief questionnaire, filled by individual subjects and hug on the walls. These forms are reminiscent of the questionnaires that are completed and signed by consulates before authorizing entry into a nation. By putting them on display, Liu emphatizes that many individuals are unable to provide the necessary requisites and are, therefore, left without the possibility to move freely from one nation to another.
