“Talking about identity implies also talking about the process of moulding us as individual human beings and in relation to society. This is kind of the idea behind Identità Sospese (Suspended Identities). It is a truncated part of history, so now the pieces are put back together like a jigsaw puzzle.”
These are the opening thoughts of the documentary Identità Sospese (Suspended Identities), the title of Victor Fotso Nyie’s exhibition bearing the same name, part of the solo-collective exhibition SEDIMENTS.
Through his work, Victor Fotso Nyie, a Cameroonian artist living in Italy, leads us into a layered narrative that runs along the past-present timeline, interrupting it. The sculptural objects created by the artist are conceived and experienced in his innermost self, often made in his own image and likeness.
