Trip 01
This carpet was commissioned to Indian weavers in jaipur area, and represent simulacra of Eric. The title plays with words, by linking the idea of traveling with the experience of browsing the web, in search of the abode of the spirit.

Reconnecting to ancestral religious traditions, the recent projects of Gregorio Samsa proposes a re-reading of our contemporaneity through a filter typical of tribal societies. The painted fencing mask that makes prominent appearances in these works forms the mediative element through which, a spirit of our time is made visible. Through the elicitation of questions surrounding identity and image in art, Samsa reveals to us that a mask might reveal as much as it hides.
