Mona Hatoum
Hot Spot (stand)
Mona Hatoum (b. 1952, Beirut, Lebanon) lives and works in London, England. Hot Spot (stand) is a steel cage-like globe that uses red LED lights to outline the contours of the continents depicted on its surface. The work suggests that “hot spots,” or spots of conflict, are not limited to certain areas of disputed borders.
