How a Syrian-American artist reinterprets ancient Roman architecture
In short: In this episode of The Artist Project, Diana Al-Hadid explores the tension between architectural stability and the illusion of space through the lens of a Roman villa.
Syrian-American artist Diana Al-Hadid, born in 1981, examines a specific room from the villa of P. Fannius Synistor located at Boscoreale. Her reflections focus on the complex relationship between the physical reality of a wall and the way it can be both relied upon and denied.
Al-Hadid, known for her work in sculpture, installation, and drawing, uses this ancient Roman cubiculum to contemplate the boundaries of structure and perception.
