Salamoia (blue), resembles a cosmic watercooler, wherein the water container has been replaced by an amameh, or turban, underlining the discursive role of thirst in the foundations of Shi’a symbolism. Water-fountains are often found outside Shi’a shrines and mosques, as votive and ritual sources of water in homage to the 7th century Battle of Kerbala in the desert where dehydration played a major role. The work was part of the collective’s installation Dillio Plaza at the 58th Venice Biennale.
