'BUNKER'
Sculptures by Mona Hartoum, an exile from Beirut, based in London for the past forty years since the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War. ...."Her work, BUNKER, consists of a series of architectural forms that reproduce the proportions of buildings in Beirut, damaged over the period of a long drawn out conflict. Constructed in sheet steel, pierced in the same grid pattern in a formalized representation of the effect of shellfire. Her memories of a familiar world made strange." Sadly this could apply to the present time. This work needs to be explained in order for it to be understood. Seen in Library Court, Jesus College Cambridge.
