Souleye Fall
Lives and works in New York, NY, USA
Artist statement
My work's true focus lies in its ability to create ruptures between practices that tie worlds together, reimagining how black/queer people of the diaspora blur edges through transmedias and Pop culture. I define my practice as non western centered through using plurality to reimagine, create potential, and bring forth new worlds. I work with videos on monitors, cardboard, clothing and wood that are frequently salvaged or recycled. These materials allow me to create strategies and backdrops for joy and immersive experiences. I echo the virtual and the physical as a way to source the black imaginary.
