Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This avant-garde installation features a series of transparent frames suspending delicate, printed panels that create a sense of both openness and enclosure. The minimalist, black-and-white aesthetic, combined with the angular, geometric structures, evokes a striking visual tension. The subject matter appears to be a collection of photographic images, hinting at themes of memory, fragmentation, and the fluidity of perception. The artist's innovative use of materiality and form challenges the traditional boundaries of the gallery space, inviting the viewer to engage with the work in a contemplative and interactive manner. This conceptual piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of the relationship between the physical and the ephemeral, as well as the power of art to shape our understanding of the world around us. ...

Artist
Adji Dieye
B.1991, Senegalese/Italian

Adji Dieye is a Senegalese and Italian artist whose practice is concerned with unpicking cultural stereotypes. Dieye investigates the power dynamics within photography, questioning how images from advertising, propaganda and archives affect an individual’s self-identity. West African photographers of the 1950s and 60s, such as Malick Sidibé, Seydou Keïta and Oumar Ly influence her work heavily. Echoing the aesthetic style of these artists, Dieye combines contemporary photographs of everyday scenes with archival images. Sometimes, she also incorporates 3D models and prototypes of buildings, layering these diverse references in moving image works and installations. In a 2020 project Culture Lost and Learned for example, Dieye printed archival images sourced from the National Archives of Senegal onto long pieces of silk, draping these pieces of fabric through built metal structures. Moving between fluid and concrete matter, this presentation of archival imagery speaks to the construction of identity in post-independence West Africa—a principal concern of Dieye’s work. ...

Galerie Cecile Fakhoury opened its doors in Abidjan, Ivory Coast in September 2012. In May 2018, the gallery inaugurated its second space in Dakar, Senegal and a showroom in Paris, France. Shortly after, in March 2020, a new project space dedicated to emerging artists from Africa opened in Abidjan. In October 2021, Galerie Cecile Fakhoury inaugurated another gallery, opening in the 8th arrondissement of Paris on Avenue Matignon. The gallery promotes contemporary art from Africa and the Diaspora by providing visibility to the artistic diversity and creative spirit from the continent. Through its programming of solo and group exhibitions, participation in international art fairs, biennales, and collaboration with international galleries, Cecile Fakhoury is a leading force putting contemporary African art on the global map. The artists represented by the gallery are distinguished by their cultural identities and stories, they create a new language that crosses geographical boundaries and familiarities. They are observers of the world they live in, critics of society, and committed to their positions living within complex histories. In turn, they ask us to reconsider our own relation to the world. ...
