The Garden From Free Zone. 2013

Sara Ramo appropriates everyday elements and scenes, displacing them from their original context and rearranging them in videos, photographs, collages, sculptures and installations. This project involves the construction of a symbolic garden using objects found in storage at Sharjah’s Department of Culture and Information. These old and obsolete things, almost forgotten, come back to life during the Sharjah Biennial as they occupy the top floor of a disused bank building, which is likewise reactivated during the exhibition. The objects are arranged in the form of a map, referring to the history of the institution where they are stored.
Commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation.
