White House, 2005
Lida Abdul Born in 1973 in Kabul, Afghanistan; lives in Los Angeles, USA. In "White House", Lida Abdul paints ruins in her home town Kabul white. "I wanted to create a kind of sculpture that was supposed to be an answer to those who only see destruction, and that could also indicate the possibility of solving problems far more difficult. At the same time, I wanted to preserve these ruins for the future. Simply as ruins. Not as monuments."
In "Bamiyan", twenty men wearing black clothes stand in front of the remains of one of the Buddha statues that had been destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, knocking stones against stones. "… a symbol that something has been lost, and the only thing to remain is the memory of it." www.lidaabdul.com
