Background

“Silver Lining” is a work of high-voltage luminous tubes by Mona Hatoum from 2011, placed at the Bern University of the Arts, Fellerstrasse 11. Hatoum was born in Beirut in 1952 and now lives in London as a multimedia artist with British and Palestinian roots. The outbreak of civil war in Lebanon in 1975 forced her into exile. No further documented details about this particular work are available yet.
