Black Atlas @ cafe Oto
Black Atlas was made during a year-long residency at the Warburg where George worked closely with the Image of the Black archive, a collection of over 30,000 photographs of artworks, artefacts and objects that feature figures of African descent. This collection was started in 1960 by Dominique and Jean de Ménil and was given to the Institute in the late 1990s.
Black Atlas marks the first time that the Warburg Institute has commissioned a contemporary artwork. The film will enter the Institute’s collection after the exhibition’s close, held as part of its Special Collections.
George’s project inaugurates a running initiative to commission contemporary artworks and exhibitions to activate and interrogate the Institute’s collections.
George has assembled a 57-minute film comprised entirely of photographs from the archive. Broken into nine chapters of recurring images – dogs, blood, sex, monkeys, mirrors, collars, faces, space, and things – each section represents a constellation of meanings and images that leapt out during George’s research.
