Kahlil Joseph – BLKNWS
I stumbled upon this piece of awe inspiring art at the Venice biennale a few years ago , BLKNWS is essentially a parallel dimension universe of afrocentric news through the gaze of a different world. The black experience is documented in a manner that is true and not degrading and artistically surreal yet poignant. This is a big influence on my installation work as I want my work to have a similar effect and show a similar depiction of a similar experience. The ability to present a world of surrealism that exposes more truth and more accurately depicts a real world thing better than the real world is very inspiring to me.
