Pilar Mata Dupont, winner of the Wexner Center for the Arts residency, presents her work Purgatorio, a sort of adaptation of the purgatory in Dante’s Divine Comedy, which challenges all different levels of the bureaucracy required for one to obtain Australian citizenship. The artist describes the piece as a Kafkian musical piece in an infinite loop, whose camera operates from the applicant’s point of view and thus encompasses all levels of bureaucracy in an endless process.
