DIFFUSION’s closing program tunnels into images themselves, permeating their surfaces and fraying their pixelated edges. Out of a deceptively simple question about belonging flows a layered and subtle resilience. Urban alienation, white supremacy and settler colonialism are confronted here, obliquely, in the form of a sly riddle where images and bodies come together in force. Belonging to the mountains and streams; to the harnessed technological discovery of the protest record, the sample, the remix; dancing in a circle of collective grief; a slingshot landing a stone right in the eye of the settler; a song of Africa; a code breathed aloud, Recypher is about home and the forces that conspire to turn it to a blur or a memory. These five works step into that blur and reclaim its power.
