Chelebi Carpet Room
Farid Rasulov represents Azerbaijan at 55th Venice Biennale , for “Ornamentation”, he contributed the work Carpet Interior, an installation that reproduces a typical living room setting, with sofas, armchairs, coffee table, dining table, chairs and bookshelves complete with books, all covered in textiles printed with traditional geometric patterns taken from carpet making characteristic of the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan. Farid Rasulov pays tribute to the ancient silk route between Europe and the orient by confronting the Venetian palazzo with traditional Islamic patterns. Carpets with Azerbaijani ornaments are covering a whole scene creating a shift in space.
