About the Exhibition
Rezaire uses video works, installations, and performances to establish connections between the past and present, science and mysticism, technology and nature and thus creates spaces for collective memory and transformation.
The exhibition is a manifestation of Rezaire's philosophy of life and brings together three installations from the year 2024; OMI: Yemoja Temple an Omu Elu are dedicated to Orisha Yemoja, the mother spirit of rivers and oceans worshipped by the Yoruba in West Africa and the diaspora. The installation Des/astres deals with the astronomical traditions of the Amazon region and the strategic position of French-Guyana as a central location of the European space programme.
This Weltmuseum Wien exhibition emerged out of a collaboration with the participating artists and follows on from three exhibitions in Madrid, Paris, and Berlin.
The three works Des/astres (2024), OMI: Yemoja Temple (2024), and Omo Elu (2024) were presented by TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary in the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, Madrid, from 8 October 2024 to 12 January 2025 in the exhibition Tabita Rezaire.
