Sheets made of bottle caps and drink cans. The sheets which are sometimes so large that they cover the façade of a Venetian palace are made by hand by the inhabitants of the village where he lives. They hammer the bottle caps flat, cut the cans into small pieces and solder them together in patterns that Anatsui provides them with. Anatsui has made 3 large sheets for this exhibition.
