Iye Omoge is the title of a project which presents photographs of a road in Turin which runs alongside a park, and map variations of the same area. The work recalls the time when the pavement was divided up into work areas by Nigerian prostitutes who frequented the area until a few years ago. The project led to the creation of two parallel works: an exhibition and a web project.
The events of Corso Regina Margherita have been reconstructed thanks to the account given by a woman who used to work there as a prostitute. The full account of her story can be heard in the web project; this forms the "hidden" source, from which various phrases have been extracted and inserted into the maps, and on which the autograph text accompanying the exhibition is based.
The photographs were taken between 2005 and 2006 and are pictures of the three work areas identified by the Nigerian prostitutes and a bird's eye view of the road, from a raised platform. The mapping reproduces this 3+1 dimensional structure and the overall installation of the work creates a binary link between the two triptychs and the two large scale works.
