The artist Maria Ceppi draped five curtains inside the display cases of the exhibition venue ZONE 30 in the city of Siders. This act of concealment highlights the interface between public and private: the window. The window is the bridge that allows us to see what lies within, but when covered up they preserve the intimacy of that inner space. Maria Ceppi chose six different curtains, from a thick fabric curtain in an orange and brown motif from the 1970s to a beige tulle curtain and modern plastic roller blind. The curtains turn the role of the display cases on its head. They go from being windows for people to look through and displays to be viewed, to a barrier that makes it hard, even blocks the view to the inside.
