As part of the ongoing series »to build to bury to remember«, Sarah Ama Duah examines the deconstruction of monuments, while developing hybrid forms between sculpture and physicality. She adopts a sculptural approach to the topic, inviting performers to collaboratively reflect on the fetishised status of historical monuments by creating and deconstructing alternative, temporary monuments made from latex, using their own bodies. What different forms can sculptural appreciation take? To whom do we want to dedicate it, in whose name and according to which values? How is it possible to handle the void that remains behind when a colonial monument is demolished?

Sarah Ama Duah adopts a multidisciplinary approach to her work that involves sculpture, performance and video. From a Black and feminist perspective, she explores the relationship between body and sculpture, investigating concepts of fetishisation and the potential found in synthetic surfaces.
