Under the Gaze of Emperors:
It's a birdcage. It's a bird's nest. It's a bird.
It's the headdress Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons wore during her guerrilla action last week in Piazza San Marco, where, accompanied by musicians from Cuba, she performed an Afro-Cuban folkloric song, the Abakua.
Then she made her way to the National Archeological Museum, where she changed—mostly—into attire more appropriate for the opening of her native country's pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
Featuring works by artists from Cuba (Sandra Ramos, Tonel) and elsewhere (Hermann Nitsch, Gilberto Zorio), among others, the pavilion has "occupied" the museum's collections of classical statues and precious stones.
In one gallery, ancient emperors gaze upon a flock of birdcages, by Campos-Pons and collaborator Neil Leonard. Each contains a tiny video telling stories of survival, dreams, and sometimes wishes fulfilled. The headdress fits in perfectly.
See more from my gallery of artists from Iraq, Azerbaijan and beyond at the Venice Biennale
