Guided Tour (DE)
Ibrahim Mahama: Zilijifa
The mechanisms, vessels and networks employed in transporting goods and people are the starting point for a series of works by Ibrahim Mahama that consider the act of loading, carrying and unloading weight alongside a more abstract notion of the weight of history. Remnants of the railway, an industrial system for transport and trade, are combined with objects and images that refer to the physical act of bearing weight with the body.
The guided tour is free with a valid exhibition ticket.
