Oladélé Ajiboyé Bamgboyé

CCA Kitakyushu Project Gallery presented a new work by Oladélé Ajiboyé Bamgboyé.

For his project at the CCA, Bamgboyé chose to explore the notion of home, not as a safe haven, but more as the consequence of hypermodernity that, is at once able to erode old differences, while creating conditions for new ones, leading to challenging notions of the here and the now. The new work, titled Uchi. Ilé. Héimat, brought together acquired imagery from Nigeria, and found imagery of an anonymous German family that were found during Bamgboyé’s stay in Berlin and new imagery made during his stay in Japan, in the form of a multimedia projection installation.Far from a sentimental notion of home and belonging, the new work, in similar vein to his other works brought together the strangeness of the self and the familiarity of the foreign.

Oladélé Ajiboyé Bamgboyé stayed at CCA Kitakyushu as Professor of Research Program from July 14 to August 5, 2000.
