'Not in the title' / Sam Hopkins
Not in the title / photocollage 2011
Sam Hopkins´ installation „Not in the title“ is inspired by Nigerian and Ghanaian horror movies from the collection of the Iwalewa-Haus. A selection of these movies is shown in the original version mixed with manipulated sequences that are integrated digitally. The installation asks about authenticity and searches for the reception of global artworks in a local context.
Sam Hopkins lives in Nairobi (Kenya). His art is concerned with public space and interactivity. Examples are the media collective Slum TV and Urban Mirror Nairobi.
Exhibition from 27-11-11 / 04-03-12
Iwalewa-Haus, University of Bayreuth, Germany
