A visual and verbal exploration of life's twists and transformations through the visual art of El Anatsui and Richard Serra as responded to by art critic Rikki Wemega-Kwawu and complemented by Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju on the writings of Toyin Falola.
This second edition has a new musical score, more images and more text, facilitating better understanding of the film's theme.
The film is inspired by art critic Wemega-Kwawu's Facebook post of 11th March 2019 on El Anatsui's installation "Lorgorligi Logarithms", I adapt that interpretation to Richard Serra's "The Matter of Time" and other works of Serra's and Anatsui's , Serra having been introduced to me by the discussion thread generated by Rikki's post.
The simplicity and profundity of the ideas expressed by Wemega-Kwawu's post are used in unifying images of the art of Anatsui and Serra, ideas I see as resonant across the various works in those images from various online sources.
These verbal and visual expressions are complemented by my distillations of biographical progression in relation to ideals of scholarly activity from the work of Toyin Falola in "Toyin Falola's In Praise of Greatness and its Intercultural Resonance in the Context of Classical Yoruba Hermeneutics", an essay under consideration for publication in the Yoruba Studies Review.
My reflections on Falola's work expand upon the impulse generated by Wemega-Kwawu, carrying forward their ideational possibilities as the images unfold.
This is an expanded second edition of the film benefiting from Wemega-Kwawu's critique of the first edition .
This edition has a new musical score, more images and more text, facilitating better understanding of the film's theme.
Comments on the film are visible on its Facebook post.
