Pierre Portelli’s Homecoming (2011) is a tattoo design replicated with cutlery on painted wood. Common throughout the centuries among sailors in the Mediterranean, the swallow and heart tattoos represent a safe return home to loved ones. By replacing the ink with the cutlery and the skin with the quotidian wood of tables, Portelli translates human feelings into a tangible mix of everyday and artistic materials. An exploration into our constructed world of pictures – with its haunting power, especially in times of confinement – the exhibition channels the liminal space between reality and imagination as we reconnect to the world that surrounds us.
