Voo Doo You Doo Speak
2010
This work pushes its viewers to reconsider the perceptions and inhibitions that surround cultural identities associated with Africa and the African Diaspora. “Voo Doo You Doo Speak” is in part an architectural sculpture that viewers can enter and experience a highly charged technological environment, that include a multi-channel video installation of animated African masks that speak Dadaist sound poem soliloquies. The mask animations play with pulsations of light in rhythmic patterns that create a trace like space, one that evokes a sense of spiritual apparition and take over.
