Nicholas Hlobo(b.1975)生于南非开普敦,现于Johannesburg生活与工作。Hlobo将缎带、皮革、木材和橡胶碎屑等材料融合在一起并编织在一起,创造出具有诱惑力的触觉雕塑和绘画。他的作品层次丰富——以科萨文化和后种族隔离南非的生活经历为基础——并反映了语言和交流、性别和性、种族和民族等主题。下面的视频来自021对他的采访开始,大概呈现了他的工作环境,介绍他的工作方式,寻找感受的流动。他认为作品就是一种语言,在这种语言中他寻找与定义自己的身份。
“不管我是醒着还是睡着了,都有一些东西在锅里炖着,都在做梦。就像我经常预测自己的未来,在明天到来之前展望明天一样。当我们到了明天,它不是我们想象的那样,它不是世界末日;我们试着做更多的梦,尝试其他的事情。此刻也是梦里。”
