Mosque of Mopti - 2001 wallpaper, adhesive, sticks 58,42 x 33,02 x 33,02 cm / 23 x 13 x 13 in This sculpture belongs to a trio from 2001, Mosque of Sankoré, Mosque of Boré, and Mosque of Mapti, and suggests rough-hewn models of Islamic sacred architecture. These precarious constructions are made from slabs of glue-stiffened layered wallpaper, with prickly sticks emanating from all sides. Lapinski has stated that the objects derive from 19th-century photographs of Harar, a forlorn Ethiopian trading post frequented by Symbolist poet turned wandering entrepreneur Arthur Rimbaud.
