The third part of The Court Jester project, the installation A Home Is Home, explores the notions of nomadic habitat, ancestral land, borders, dispossession, forced displacement, and reconstruction. It uses the location of the Peripherie 8 space, situated on the border between Basel-City and Basel-Land, as both a chromatic and geographical reference. The pieces bear stigmata reminiscent of gutted buildings and the landscape seen from above in a war zone. The installation focuses on the Palestinian enclave of Gaza, a zone, a land, and a home for millions of people. It serves as a philosophical and personal reflection on issues of responsibility, information, and involvement, examining what it means to have—or lack thereof—a home, or not, within one's own country.

Sylvain Gelewski is an artist and curator from Geneva.
