Art Basel is everywhere! Discover our public art program, Parcours.
Here, we get a glimpse of the process behind this large-scale textile installation by artist duo Hylozoic/Desires at 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.
