'Ghosts' are replicas of displaced archaeological glass artifacts from Greater Syria currently stored or displayed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. 8 vessels are replicated in collaboration with professional forgers and glassblowers in Palestine that work on producing forgeries for the black market and the antiquities market in Palestine. By working with them, and bringing their craftsmanship to an exhibition space, we blur the boundaries between the ways in which value is applied to museum objects and antiquities. The vessels are toilet flasks, historically used by women for rituals of cleansing and healing. The objects are placed within a grid of soil as if they were just excavated in an homage to the Palestinian women that were used by western institutions to do the physical labour of digging.
