Mirrors & Echoes : Mary Evans and Emeka Ogboh

14 Nov-20 Dec 2014

Overview

Mirrors & Echoes investigates notions of memory in relation to place, taking as its particular focus the interface between sound and image. Comprising paper cut-outs, video, sound and sculptural elements, the work creates an imaginary space based on the artists' recollections and current experiences of the rapidly evolving Nigerian megacity of Lagos. Evans and Ogboh stitch together disparate elements, creating an experience that highlights the intersections and instabilities of memory, history, subjectivity and place, as they evolve over time. The exhibition presents entirely new works, many of them site-specific. These include a number of individual works by Evans and Ogboh, as well as a large-scale collaborative installation, which forms the centrepiece of the exhibition.
