The Remaindering

Book Work, 2022

The Remaindering combines image, text and sculptural values to talk about stubborn man-made constructions that no longer function along the lines that their makers originally intended. From never-finished bridges and unmade architectural plans to partially dilapidated public monuments, these remainders still have a use within their own ecosystems. The Remaindering revisits material remnants in the Democratic Republic of the Congo from the independence era and Belgian colonial exhibitions to reflect on what is left of oppressive regimes that helped to shape city space today.

Bridge Remainder

Cardboard sculpture, 2023

Bridge Remainder emerges from The Remaindering. Die cut cardboard is arranged to form various configurations based on a repeated series of bridge stairs in Kinshasa (that are all missing a connecting bridge). These images show a pristine version of the sculpture from Overwhelmed (2023). The sculpture now enters its next phase, where it will be used by people, cats and plants as garden furniture before re-entering the gallery space.
