Fault Line - Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare, Turin, 2018

Fault Line, 2018 

For this work, Tabet conducted comprehensive research in Bolzano, Italy on visits to the provincial geological department, the historical archive and a number of typical local stone quarries. This research brought to light three different aspects of South Tyrol history and society that the artist has combined in a site-specific installation.

Using 120 tonnes of Lasa marble powder, the artist has created a landscape that is reminiscent of both the moon and the mountains. On the walls around it, a continuous link of 1550 Bolzano Superinox razor blades marks out an ideal horizon, while in the centre of the room, a watercolor from the Antonio Dalle Nogare collection by the artist Hans Josef Weber-Tyrol (1874-1957) is displayed on an easel. The painting is positioned so it faces the outside of the building and therefore creates and immediate dialogue with the surrounding landscape that the entire installation is a tribute to.
