⭐️ Looking back at the 2025 edition of #Parcours, curated by steffihessler of swissinstitute. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here we see the large-scale textile installation by artist duo Hylozoic/Desires brought to Münsterplatz: The artwork’s shape references the Inland Customs Line, a 4,000-km-long barrier that was installed on the subcontinent by the East India Company with the intentention to intercept salt ‘smugglers’. The tax’s dire effects were so widespread that Mahatma Gandhi famously led the 1930 Salt March. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The installation may be down, but lives on in our memories. — Global Lead Partner - UBS & Ubsglobalart
