Sull’opera

In composing RIGHTS, Ann Hamilton arranged phrases from the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) to form a shape approximately the size of a human figure. Capitalized words running down the center of the shape, like a spine, reproduce the first sentence of the preamble of the declaration: "Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world." Blind embossed and hand-colored in blue ink, the words have a braille-like texture and a color that fades at the edges, conjuring a figure that is simultaneously tangible and intangible.
