Shrine/Shroud deconstructs the museological vitrine, which re-presents artefacts encountered within the colonial landscape as belonging to a common humanity by translating plunder as preservation, attaining absolution by visibly displaying all behind a transparent screen - an (in)consequential disruption.

Vestiges of the copper image/forms sit beneath the red acrylic, resonant of the anthropological and scientific lens. The installation assumes the geometric formation of eastern memorium sites, no distinct from a writing tablet. The question of re-inscription once again arises. As always, the viewer’s access to the rows in between the pieces is negotiated. The reflectiveness of the acrylic obscures a totalising perception. The marks constructing a yet to be translated script on their own accordance. Several encounters are indexed on these screens.
