The Stonewall series was started in 2001, following the riots sur- rounding the G8 summit in Genoa that year. By combining a metallic barrier and broken glass, this piece draws together a symbol of power – the barriers that hold back the crowds – and the broken windows that result from a violent reaction to it. Beyond this symbolism, Monica Bonvicini accentuates the psychological tension inherent in the materials used in modern architecture.
