Serwah Attafuah

We are proud to present [a series of 5 videos](/brody-condon) by artist [Brody Condon](/brody-condon), recorded in 2014. 

The Berlin based artist (b. Mexico 1974) often facilitates and documents game-like group encounters that experientially probe dissociative phenomena. His work is best known for its early influence on re-purposing computer games and LARP techniques ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brody_Condon)).

Condon's work has been widely exhibited internationally, and been acquired by public collections such as the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Albright-Knox Gallery, and the Kadist Foundation.

The 5 video works are each available in an edition of [3 non-fungible Ethereum tokens](https://left.gallery/work/evp-amie). These tokens are progressively priced: respectively 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 ether, and sold on a [first-come, first-served basis](https://left.gallery/work/possession-janet) (no auction).

We like to thank our friends at [Folia](https://www.folia.app/) and Alberto Granzotto for their support.

Medium: TIFF Dimensions: 4300 x 6063 px -----------About The Installation: Made at a turning point in the artist’s life, 'Galileo’s Gaze' (2018) is an allegory for Attafuah’s coming of age. Rooted by the paradoxical of images of chains--evoking oppression, control, and restriction--and a golden eagle flying high above a winged figure--evoking freedom, emancipation, and flight--the work transfigures the artist’s ambiguous state of mind as she enters adulthood and comes to terms with her own dualistic and multi-racial identity. While chains still ensnare the central figure and the crowd of bodies beneath her, all eyes gaze ever-upwards, brandishing weapons like trophies, defiant to be caged or compressed, ready to pull the trigger. -----------About The Artist: Serwah Attafuah is a 3D artist and musician based in West Sydney, Australia. She creates surreal cyber wastelands and afro-futuristic reflections of self with strong ancestral themes. Serwah's work has been commissioned by clients including Nike, Adobe, Warner Music, and Young Stoner Life Records.-----------About The Purchase:The Token ID points to a display copy of the artwork.
