Where Light and Sound Bend
2022
Computer-generated imaging using motion capture
Collaboration with Zwelakhe Mbalo
From the Deep: In the Wake of Drexciya with Ayana V. Jackson
Opens April 29, 2023
For her first monographic exhibition, acclaimed photographer Ayana V. Jackson was inspired by the Detroit-based 1990s techno band Drexciya (musicians James Stinson and Gerald Donald) whose albums imagined a mythical aquatopia populated by descendants of pregnant African women thrown (or who jumped) overboard into the Atlantic Ocean during the Middle Passage. In this exhibition, Jackson expands her practice to include animation, immersive video, installation, sound, and scent. She creates a series of haunting, yet profoundly beautiful and empowering encounters that draw upon African water spirits from Senegal to South Africa.
Excerpt from Where Sound and Light Bend. CGI driven by motion capture created in collaboration with Zwelakhe Mbalo.
