Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often seen as the dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography.

The title of this project by Italian artist Carla Filipe referred to the idea of dislocation and exile. The work was created in a space that had formerly been used for the public toilets in Pavilion 2. The installation was made from cement using water from the Mediterranean Sea; it also included objects such as discarded clothes and printed job ads, collected by the artist during her walks through the streets of Murcia.
