Working primarily in sculpture and installation, Gozié Ojini’s practice employs careful gestures with found objects to explore the social significance and emotional resonance held within their history and materiality. Frequently manipulating and restructuring musical instruments and domestic objects, he echoes the language of sampling in hip-hop music production, translating the sonic into the physical. Through silenced objects coded with synesthesia, Ojini’s practice follows a poetic logic that meditates on inheritance, memory, non-performance and shifting systems of value.
