Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan

 
 

Address (Project: Another Country). 2007 - 2008
Installation

Collected personal objects 'cubed' by Balikbayan boxes. These are boxes that many Filipino migrants use to transport their personal belongings home. The Aquilizans used them as moulds to 'cast' their own belongings as they moved from the Philippines to Australia. These 140 'cubes' are now the 'bricks' for the construction of a room with a door but without a ceiling.
