El anatsui




Bleeding takari 2007

This sculpture  is composed of liquor-bottle caps and seals discarded by Nigerian distilleries. Anatsui and his assistants have flattened, folded, and carefully linked the pieces together with copper wire, creating a simple sculpture on a grand scale. This particular sculpture represents people and commodities who has left the continent. I find this sculpture quite fascinating in regards to the title and meaning.
