Sokunge/As if .
Sokunge, is a Shona word that describes phenomena that is intrinsically something else other than their appearance.
More like deception or dissimulation of form, concept, or sound.
In this exhibition, I was looking at forms that appear as something, but upon a closer look, they reference a lot of other things, more like below the surface politics.
That is the relationship between hidden and exposed transcripts, it is the subtext, the micro politics.
There's a lot of mingling of symbolism in the work itself and layered aesthetics.
