wax plasticine, coffee beans in preserving jar

 

 

like in the installation, "home, sweet home", everyday utensils that symbolize "at home" are used, revealing the hidden violence in this context. only upon closer inspection does one notice that a person does not necessarily feel "at home" at home and can actually feel threatened by something that normally represents food and pleasure. one can read the mute cries in lili' s face. she presses her hands against the glass of the jar from which she begs to be freed.
