Über das Werk: At the Palazzo dei Congressi, a symbol of imperial Rome, Nina Fischer & Maroan el Sani staged a communicative action in collaboration with a group of citizens. Through the language of signs, body and gestures, the people who were asked to participate temporarily took over this space, left rigorously empty, in an attempt at redefining the identity of the city they live in. The artists’ attention focuses above all on the contrast between the non-verbal communication of the people and the silent language of the Fascist architecture. This interaction leads to a state of strong tension, and turns out into the photographic work of the artists.
