Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a striking visual of two intertwined snakes against a vibrant blue background. The snakes' bodies are rendered in shades of black, creating a striking contrast with the colorful, intricate patterns adorning their skin. The composition draws the viewer's attention to the intricate details and bold lines that define the serpents' form. The use of bold colors and dynamic shapes suggests a contemporary artistic style, perhaps inspired by the symbolism and mythology surrounding snakes. This piece likely invites the viewer to contemplate themes of duality, transformation, or the natural world's inherent power and beauty. ...

Artist
Josèfa Ntjam
B.1992, French

Josèfa Ntjam is an artist, performer and writer whose practice combines sculpture, photomontage, film and sound. Collecting the raw material of her work from the internet, books on natural sciences and photographic archives, Ntjam uses assemblage – of images, words, sounds, and stories – as a method to deconstruct the grand narratives underlying hegemonic discourses on origin, identity and race. Her work weaves multiple narratives drawn from investigations into historical events, scientific functions and philosophical concepts, to which she confronts references to African mythology, ancestral rituals, religious symbolism and science-fiction. These apparently heterogeneous discourses and iconographies are marshalled together in an effort to re- appropriate History while speculating on not-yet-determined space-times – interstitial worlds where systems of perception and naming of fixed (id)entities no longer operate. From there, Ntjam composes utopian cartographies and ontological fictions in which technological fantasy, intergalactic voyages and hypothetical underwater civilizations become the matrix for a practice of emancipation that promotes the emergence of inclusive, processual and resilient communities. ...
