Quarters
1996
Mona Hatoum's *Quarters* presents a stark, institutional structure of stacked metal bunk beds that evokes spaces of confinement, displacement, and mass human habitation. The work's relentless, repetitive forms suggest both prison barracks and refugee quarters, stripping individual identity down to the bare geometry of survival. Through its cold, industrial aesthetic, Hatoum transforms a familiar object into a haunting meditation on control, vulnerability, and the politics of belonging.
