Frida Orupabo, Two-Thirds Pleasure* | Opening August 23


Two-Thirds Pleasure*

Opening August 23, 17 – 20

Frida Orupabo explores themes of race, gender, sexuality, violence, the gaze, post-colonialism and identity working in media that in their nature are fragmented and multifarious. Employing image platforms including Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Tumblr as both source and tool Orupabo engages in the simultaneously monolithic and splintered abundance of images that define race and gender. In their wiki-generated content and labile fluidity these platforms both reinforce and disrupt established norms.

Although self-taught and working otherwise as a social worker in Oslo, Orupabo has for many years created digital collages which she cuts and manipulates, using photographs from personal archives and found images. This combination of sources connects her personal history to a collective story, the private and political, in a matrix of appropriated images. More recently she has started to produce large scale figurative collages in paper, layer upon layer, like fabric, joined with split pins in a way that recalls paper dolls.
