Collection: De Vleeshal Collection, Middelburg (The Netherlands) (Inv. no. VH0204).
Recollection consists of a table-shaped loom used to weave human hair; strewn on the ground around it we come across hundreds of little brown balls made out of hair – the artist’s own – and an invisible ‘wall’ of hairs strung up, in a precise grid, from ceiling to floor. A chilling mixture of bodily intimacy and abject domesticity, the work exemplifies Hatoum’s interest in topics related to imprisonment, incarceration and enslavement.
