A presentation of Articule
Not having to abate its own fantasy, the confluence of these four breakers (Lamin Fofana, Parker Mah, Kengné Téguia, and Zab Maboungou) – whose outworks cannot but contextualize their interior complications – precipitates a catalytic sense: it must blue, cool the air down, which is the only thing to do, an earth thing to do... curl in something else’s wound.
Artists biography

Kengné Téguia (FR) is performer and videographer, his practice - passed through the filter of queer aesthetics, experimental cinema and pop music - reinvests the figure and condition of the cyborg. Téguia exploits in this double space his body and his deafness, playing and foiling the expectations of the public.
Parker Mah (CA) was born in Vancouver. A trained jazz pianist, he also counts photography and multimedia installations among his creative endeavors.
Lamin Fofana (SL/DE) is an electronic producer and artist based in Berlin. He is from Sierra Leone, lived in Guinea and the United States. His instrumental electronic music contrasts the reality of our world with what’s beyond and explores questions of movement, migration, alienation, and belonging.
