Model II: construction considers an image through its dimensions, weight, volume, duration, projection and motion. The image constructed is assembled using audio commentary about the transition and progress of a small town into a city, footage of a site visit, and slide projections of exquisite corpse drawings.
BIO I Jackie Karuti's work departs from drawing whereby the moving & projected image is considered & used as a way to generate thought. Her practice is founded on ideas around image construction, knowledge production & the depths of possibility enabled by radical imagination. Karuti is based in Nairobi and is currently a resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam.
