Ostinato Interstice Rendering
Techne Sphere Galerie, Leipzig, DE.
as part of M-24 Festival
Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (Academy of Fine Art Leipzig)
23 - 29.09.2024
This exhibition navigates the intricate play of identity, temporality, and aesthetics, drawing deep from the transcontinental experiences of its maker. Themes of cultural intersectionality and personal displacement are worked out in Ostinato Interstice Rendering-the work is informed by the artist's own journey through South Korea, South Africa, and Germany.
These are works born from ambiguity, often merging surrealist narratives with symbolic imagery. Fragments of sculptures, organic forms, and chroma key green-a color synonymous with digital transformation-are used to negotiate belonging in a fluid and connected world. The green here slips from conspicuous into invisible, acting as a telling metaphor for the malleability of identity and dissolution of boundaries between technology and humanity.
It is a practice of history and self re-contextualizing by dissolving binary distinctions into the flux of human existence. This exhibition brings together world cultures, ancient and contemporary influences to establish new, universal narratives that surpass divides, joining peoples rather than conflicts in a world that never rests.
