I welcome myself back from an exciting trip around the country. I’m continuing on with my survey of the artists in the Africas: The Artist and the City exhibition from long ago. It’s been a great way of learning more about these fascinating and inspiring artists from the ancient continent.

-this is just a visual introduction into his immense body of work
“I’ve tried to put my art at the service of the community that is being reborn, with a view to creating a new world, because he pleasures of this earthly one depend on the Men who inhabit it. I’ve established” The Ghost Town,” so that there might be lasting peace, justice and universal liberty. A heaven on Earth, a noteworthy jewel of the entire world.”-Bodys Isek Kingelez

Dual Narrative-Artists Statement
A European landscape of mountains and snow is as exotic to me as what must be an African savannah landscape to a European. Working from the images Categoria: Fondo Immagini Pietro Pensa, the constant view of the photographer Pietro Pensa, and his claim to the landscape, of belonging to and living in unchanged for a life time was a strong motivation for the concept of the dual narratives set in these landscape.
The word and meditations on loss and displacement, float into the certainty of landscape as doubts and threaded uncertainty as expressions of nomadism and passage, of being from other spaces is what composed the concepts for this series.
