Rayyane Tabet's Fault Line at Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare in Bolzano
Lebanese artist Rayyane Tabet (b. 1983, Ashqout) presents 'Fault Line' at Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare in Bolzano, Italy. The site-specific installation draws on the geological history of the Dolomites and the Lasa fault, a quarry of rare white marble. Tabet fills the glass-walled hall of the house-museum with fine marble dust, creating a lunar landscape for meditation. On one wall, 1,550 Bolzano-brand razor blades trace a horizontal line—a new fracture referencing local industrial production and the economic boom. A watercolor by Tyrolean artist Hans Josef Weber-Tyrol is included to extend the viewer's gaze beyond the space. The exhibition is conceived as a three-act mise-en-scène exploring new relational dimensions.
