SENEGAL

Wurus (“gold” in Wolof) is the title of a Pavilion carefully structured through secondary walls, openings, and thresholds. Some works reveal themselves only through wide slits, others are visible within spaces you can’t have a direct access to. Reflective surfaces, brass, bronze, and polymer sculptures, compressed passageways create an environment made of echoes and displacements. Gold never appears as a material, but manifests instead as tension: its value is measured in distance, in what is reflected, in what you can glimpse and in what you desire without being able to own it.
