On Lies, Secrets and Silence presents Frida Orupabo’s distinctive vision in her most extensive exhibition to date.
Alongside works using a unique collage technique, On Lies, Secrets and Silence includes large-scale images displayed as spatial installations and a video installation, suggesting a material and conceptual evolution of the artist’s practice.
Orupabo’s incisive work unearths violences in historic photographic and popular archives as well as contemporary digital media. She draws from personal experiences that are deeply intertwined with shared, collective experiences, reimagining these difficult images into otherworldly collages, videos, and sculptures. This process is rooted in a photomontage tradition where she manipulates, cuts, arranges, inverts and loops images. Powerful as they are, these interventions create imaginative and poignant reworkings of motifs that seek to challenge colonial notions still embedded in social, economic and political structures, enabling a sensitive examination of subjects such as race, gender, sexuality, and familial bonds.
