ichibukisho
In CiBemba, a language spoken in Zambia, Tanzania and Congo, the word “ichibukisho” is used to describe the act of remembering. The installation of the same name consists of video interviews in which the protagonists speak of their origins, their self-understanding and their traditions. A further component of the artwork is a filmed group portrait in which Clarita Maria Phiri-Beierdörffer examines family relationships. The materials used in the installation refer to the spatial situation in Lusaka where the conversations took place.” - Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst
