Delinda Collier Boeken

Delinda Collier finds alternative concepts of mediation in African art by closely engaging with electricity-based works since 1944.

"Chronicling the publication and dissemination of the anthropology book Paredes Pintadas da Lunda (Painted Walls of Lunda), Delinda Collier analyzes two-dimensional images of the Chokwe peoples of northeastern Angola and their subsequent formats, from postindependent canvas paintings to Internet images. Collier argues that the logic of reproductive media envelops the past: each mediation adds another layer of context and content. "--Publisher's website.
