L'artiste Chipo Chipaziwa revient sur cinq années de performances, à travers des textes d'elle-même, de Denise Ferreira da Silva et d'Olumoroti Soji-George, et des contributions visuelles de Margaret Joba-Woodruff, de Sophia Lapres et de David Ezra Wang.
Who claims abstraction? What are the limits of abstraction? Are statelessness, dislocation and feelings of (un) belonging embodiments of an abstracted self that is in itself a work in progress? How could performance art—an artistic practice that places significant importance on presence and legibility of form—transgress into the realm of the abstract and the illegible in an effort to protect the artist's likeness while shedding light on what it means to be in their body in relation to this world?
Chipo Chipaziwa's My Mother My Home establishes itself as a query on the aspects of belonging and the artist's own personhood that acts as the foundation of her practice. The question of where one's personhood begins and ends within an artwork has appeared to be ever prevalent within the realm of visual art and is more relevant within the canon of performance art.
Chipo Chipaziwa (née en 1997 à Kuala Lumpur, Malaisie) est une artiste de performance dont la pratique explore la dynamique de pouvoir entre l'interprète et le public.
