Unland; Audible in the Mouth, 1998. Doris Salcedo.
Wood, thread and hair, 800 x 750 x 3150 mm.
Unland: Audible in the Mouth, 1998, made of wood, thread and hair, is a series of three sculptures created after she traveled to the center of Columbia to interview children who had witnessed their parents being murdered during the civil war. In this particular sculpture, Salcedo has joined two odd table pieces together with hair and thread. Another piece in the Unland series titled Unland: Irreversible Witness, 1995-8; she has again joined two table pieces to make one, then attached to it a child’s cot and wove a delicate surface of human hair into the table top.
