La Via Dolorosa  -a fourteen elements installation made with copper, iron and wood aligned on a wall by the late French artist Gina Pane (1939-1990)- takes the name from the street of the old city of Jerusalem that Jesus Christ would have walked before his crucifixion; the elements constituting the piece thus refer to the fourteen stations of the 'Way of Grief.'
In her work of the 1980's, however, she concentrated her energies on the symbolic, around themes like the saints and the martyrs, in order to evoke the road of the afterlife and dematerialization.
One of her last major pieces, La Via Dolorosa, is representative of this search. Very minimalistic, the piece's rhythmic pace and the repetition of forms direct the gaze through an alternating trajectory. 
Made of fourteen mural elements -seven T's of copper and wood alternating with seven plates of electro-galvanized iron- this artwork suggests and ever-changing path of perception. »
