Frida Orupabo dissects images and visual records, dis-members and reassembles Black bodies to give them new lives, narratives and histories. With her analog black-and-white collages and video works, the Norwegian-Nigerian artist and sociologist challenges our ways of seeing – thereby making visible how photography is involved in the formation and perpetuation of colonial power relations, which are not least inscribed in the gaze.
