Model 23, Third Body, Johannesburg. 2020.
“In my most recent series, Third Body, I am thinking about the postcolonial condition by subverting the idea that the African continent is a dumping grou
(...) nd for cheap consumer products. In this work, I reconfigure cheap, mass-produced materials and objects—like Monobloc chairs—and use them to manufacture new forms and, ultimately, new and valuable products. I treat these materials as raw materials and, like raw materials that are extracted in Africa and processed abroad, I take these raw materials and process them in my work.”
