Ibrahim Mahama: Zilijifa
Ibrahim Mahama is known for large installations that explore themes such as history, labor, migration and global capitalism. In doing so, the artist from Ghana questions the perception of value, space and global economic systems that shape everyday life. His best-known works include wrapping buildings and public spaces with reused jute sacks that were once used to transport raw materials such as cocoa and coal.
The exhibition at Kunsthalle Wien will present a series of new works that consider Ghana’s history via its material legacy. A large-scale installation takes up the sculptural question of mass via a series of readymades both large and small. The mechanisms, vessels and networks employed transporting goods and people are the starting point for sculpture, photographic and video works that consider the act of loading, carrying and unloading weight alongside a more abstract notion of the weight of history.
