Mona Hatoum's 'Over, under and in between' at Fondazione Prada

Mona Hatoum's new solo exhibition, titled 'Over, under and in between,' has launched at Fondazione Prada in Milan. This exhibition showcases three expansive installations located within the Cisterna building, which was once an alcohol distillery. Hatoum's work delves into recurring themes in her art, including the web, the map, and the grid. Upon entering, visitors encounter 'Web' (2025), a striking arrangement of handblown glass spheres suspended by wires, reminiscent of a spider's web adorned with dewdrops. A Palestinian artist originally from Beirut, Hatoum has dedicated nearly fifty years to exploring the uncanny through psychoanalytic theory and minimalist design, often repurposing everyday items like kitchen tools and hair into unsettling representations of institutional authority and global crises.
