Eve Tagny, "landless heirloom"
Courtesy of the Gallery.
landless heirloom presents an entanglement of both pre-existing and new works, that questions the relationships between land, and agrarian and extractive capitalism.
The multiple videos presented are set in landscapes traversed by histories of private ownership, colonial claims on territories, removal and displacement of populations, enclosures, physical labour, profit, but also stewardship, care, leisure, rootedness and non-human life relations.
The scenes are activated — at times organically, at times ceremoniously — by Black beings,
not here defined by the haunting ghost of property.
In the gallery space, these collated geographies escape linear time and space
They exist somewhere in the interstice and the stuff that binds back together experiences of grieving for a
lost
ruptured
fractured
Land that exist outside of rationalization
Lodged deep deep within our diasporic — displaced — migrant — settler
Selves
