Salt Cosmologies


  • Somerset House WC2R 1LA (map)

At the heart of the Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, a fabric installation scaling 80 metres in length and 2 and a half meters in height will replicate the Inland Customs Line, a monumental 2500 mile-long ‘hedge’ composed of living vegetation created by the British to enforce salt taxation during colonial rule. This reinterpretation will feature organic cotton printed with botanical dyes from the hedge's original plants, juxtaposing colonial botanical order with chaotic stamps and termite motifs.
