Kelechi Agwuncha ︎
Kelechi Agwuncha is a Chicago-born, San Diego based visual artist. They harmonize video, film, and photography to migrate vague childhood memories into tethered movements of black bodies. Her work (re)signifies aesthetics of futurism, fragmentation, containers of space-time, ‘televised’ figures and pulses towards Igbo-Nigerian heritage. She looks forward to raising a chicken.
Warm Leatherette:
Photographed during a trip to Nnewi, Nigeria, the title references Grace Jones’s 1980 album Warm Leatherette.. The series explores a projection of basic desire for recognition. What are we being kept from ; a probe into dark matter fragmented in a space that manifest them as myths – obscure identities that struggle for self-definition. The photos recall a connect-the-dots puzzle— anxieties of separation from body, what it means to be suspended & gripped by numbers . Each photographs’ title underscores their specific existing space.
