WANDERINGS
WANDERINGS
By Anna Binta Diallo
In Wanderings, Anna Binta Diallo presents seven works of photographic collage, to be read individually or in series, considering how folk stories influence the formation of identity. Iterative in nature, this body of work shifts with each presentation, sometimes expanding into an exhibition space through sculpture. With the Waterfront Station installation, Diallo reimagines elements of her ongoing project as a sequence, inviting commuters to “read” the images as they pass—finding a narrative, or pausing in a single moment. Of her work, Diallo writes, “Casting a wide net on our Collective History, I reinterpreted folk stories and reimagined or reused them in my own way to create new mythologies. Using archives, books, found imagery, the Internet, memory, and oral traditions, I created a series of new images that can be continuously re-organized.”
