Story
00:00
Josèfa Ntjam creates speculative, multidimensional worlds that reimagine memory as fluid, dynamic, and open to reinvention. Born in Metz in 1992, she blends sculpture, film, photomontage, and sound to construct new narratives of identity, rooted in African history, mythology, and science fiction. Her work challenges fixed ideas of race and origin, drawing on themes of colonialism, displacement, and liberation. In pieces like Mélas de Saturne, she transforms melancholia into a generative force, fusing oceanic imagery with digital landscapes. Ntjam’s installations dissolve boundaries, proposing identities that are porous, collective, and evolving—inviting us to dream futures beyond the constraints of inherited histories.
