Description:

Mi Booty asks what is valuable and how an object can become a status symbol. (this research followed in London after visit to Victorian & Albert Museum(1996) and the first investigation was Romantic (1996)

"The traditional meaning of booty is something both valuable and acquired by force or daring. The proceeds of criminal activity are sometimes referred to as booty, especially from piratical exploits. Historically, booty included plunder (from an enemy), loot (from piracy), or a prize (won by daring)". (wikipedia)

It focuses the notion of "CULTURAL PRODUCTIONS". It copies images from catalogues, books, encyclopedias of famous collections of bowls, vases, guacos. By means of the "painting technique on canvas" these are presenting like "decorative pictures".
My Booty mixes cultures, styles and historical times. The pieces are patrimony from different collections and museums and covered imperials collections trough Bauhaus pieces.
A sticker with the image of a ciber-pirate is in the entrance of the room.
