Remember to Forget
Mame-Diarra Niang
MACK
Available to preorder - this title is due to ship in late October.
A carefully curated artist’s book, Remember to Forget is a tetralogy comprised of Mame-Diarra Niang’s series Call Me When You Get There, Léthé, Sama Guent Guii, and Æther.
The works reflect on the abstraction of the Black body and the artist’s refusal to portray Blackness for herself and for others. Niang’s concept of the plasticity of territory as a constantly evolving and shifting entity is at the root of her work and is expanded here through different modes of non-portraiture. In these images, the self dissolves, vanishes, recedes, refracts, and appears fragmented and blurred.
In the artist’s own words:
‘My work is about memory and forgetting. What makes a self? I have come to think of the self as a territory made of well-curated memories and erasures. Remember to Forget places us where being itself is a forgotten monument; where even the most persistent conception of identity dissolves in front of us. We have to forget what we were in order to become anew... Naître et n’être rien.'
