A Play on Travelling Time and Place

Guy Debord in ‘A Critique of Separation’ asserts that the sectors of a city are decipherable, but the personal meaning they have for us is incommunicable, as is the secrecy of private life in general, regarding which we possess nothing but pitiful documents. In this work, Bethuel Muthee, Mbuthia Maina and Jepkorir Rose drift, using Nairobi as a document bearing personal and collective memories by relating the spatial and metaphoric aspects of movement, places or objects of value and other phenomena in the static formal city and the ever changing informal city.

Curated by Jepkorir Rose.
