THE END OF HISTORY (2014)

 

Music composed and produced for video installation with paintings by Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi 

8'52 sec.

In this new series of paintings and video, entitled "The End of History", Nkosi has become chiefly preoccupied with the double meaning of the word “construction”. As buildings are constructed, so are ideologies and histories. This has seen her move beyond buildings to include nature as a subject, albeit nature of a qualified kind. These are highly constructed landscapes that are the products of landscape architects and urban planners.
