A 9-minute excerpt from a new short video documentary (20 minutes in all) about the South African artist Thando Mama. (The film is directed by German filmmakers Thorolf Lipp and Tobias Wendl. The bulk of Lipp and Wendl’s film work focuses on African subjects; check out their Youtube page.)
If you’re unfamiliar with Mama’s work, for both his own description as well as that of critics, see here, here and here.
* And if you’re around New York City, Mama’s media art is on show as part of “Second Coming,” an exhibition organized by curators Gabi Ngcobo, Carlos Palacios and Andrea Torreblanca, at Bard College’s Center for Curatorial Studies until May 23.
