Shafts of Sunlight

The future is uncertain. The road is constantly changing. Our encounters with the world compel us to experiment and create new concepts and things that will help us imagine a different existence, a way out of the turbulence and brutality. Shafts of Sunlight is an open-ended improvisatory performance-installation with fragments and debris from extended studio sessions. It is a disruption of the linearity of historical time, what historian Robin D. G. Kelley refers to as Blues Time; it is simultaneously the past, the future, and the timeless space of the imagination.

Lamin Fofana is an artist and musician currently based in New York and Berlin. His music explores issues of movement, migration, alienation, belonging and what lies beyond our reality. His interest in history and the present, and his practice of transmuting text into the affective medium of sound, manifest in live multi-sensory performances and installations with original musical compositions.
