Apocrypha, Tamu Nkiwane, UK 2019, 5 min. 18 sec.


The collage of ‘The Lamentation of a Goblin’ with photography, text and 3D scanned images create a movement through time and space. Elements of heritage, spirituality, intra-action and movement are illustrated as mundane activity ensues. But in tone of voice and pause of question, you find something else.
