Paradoxal Stranger

'Paradoxal Stranger' is a group exhibition of local and international artists working in the medium of video. Gallery MOMO Cape Town asked the artists to respond to ideas of the ‘stranger’ and the ‘citizen’ and what these terms might mean in relation to belonging and alienation in a variety of different political, institutional and social contexts.

Sight of Memory - Film

Whitney McVeigh (b.1968, New York) locates her practice within the interdisciplinary area of research entitled Human Fabric, looking at a collective human history by connecting common threads in land, clothing, belongings and philosophies. Sight of Memory depicts civilian life in Syria in 2009 and is a poetic reflection on the small, intimate exchanges which comprised everyday life at the time. There is an underlying tension due to the retrospective awareness of the widespread conflict which will break out two years later.
