العمل الذى شارك به التشكيلى الشافعى دفع الله والنص المصاحب له:
Delirium
2006
List of 300 papers pieces
8 in x 8 in = 20.32 cm x 20.32 cm
List of 4 fabric pieces
25 in x 177.5 in = 63.5 cm x 222.25 cm
Delirium speaks to the intersecting routes of dispersal. It commemorates the struggle of refugees, immigrants, and other diaspora population as they cross borders into new lands. It celebrates their resilience and their ability to overcome the boundedness of cultures and identities, despite surveillance at checkpoints and border control, passports and even the demands for fingerprints
The installation of fingerprints here are part of over 300 stamps collected from acquaintances and friends of African, Middle Eastern, Asian, European, and American background. The genealogy of each fingerprint, however, transcends the geography of their continental locales. The colors used for painting over the fingerprints are inspired by the different skin tones that people in different locations use to identify themselves or to racialize others, such as using the skin color red, brown, wheat, yellow, green, blue-black (in Sudan), or white-black-yellow (in America). Despite the variations among these colored fingerprints, their similarities lie in their humanness, yet also speak of unsettled differences.
