About the Item
Throughout history and for thousands of years, from nomadic deserts to modern cities, people have migrated from place to place looking to improve their lives for the better. This work refers to the delicate and often uneasy balancing act that members of a diaspora experience when living in a culture different from the one they originate and the sense of uneasiness and of not being anchored that it may elicit. Santa Cruz invites an aesthetic and philosophical reading of our attachment to the mythical land of our origins.

Patrick Altes is an artist of French/Spanish origins, whose work has been deeply informed by his own personal history. Born in Algeria, he has made a distinctive contribution to postcolonial discourse in his work and the emerging Franco-Algerian art movement. As a young adult, he lived in South Africa for two years under the apartheid, where he had his first-hand experience of a society based on discrimination, repression and deprivation of civil and political rights for a large part of the population. It deeply marked him and fuelled in him a sense for the politically, socially and humanly acceptable.
