Dineo
Seshee Bopape

Dineo Seshee Bopape (born in 1981 in Polokwane, South Africa) works on memory and identity. Through installations that often combine video with everyday objects, the artist addresses both geopolitical situations and our most private sphere. Dineo Seshee Bopape’s works are sensory and social spaces more than just objects; the sounds smells, and the way in which viewers’bodies are affected all constitute ways of addressing historical and political issues. Dineo Seshee Bopape examines the legacy of colonial history as well as the signs of a new world to be built, in which all narratives have their place. Working often with natural materials that she combines with technology, the artist appeals both to reason and the senses, and it also alerts us to a form of spirituality. Dineo Seshee Bopape is exhibiting her work at the Pinault Collection for the first time as part of Before the Storm.
