I/WE ONE/OTHER visually explores the duality of Johannes’ personal identity: Australia/South Africa, cultural/biological, I/we, one/other. Combining video, photography and sculpture, the multifaceted installation acts as a point of intersection of Johannes’ hybrid identity.
The creative process was inspired by research of anthropological materials that focus on narratives, myths and symbols documented in West African twin rituals and twin beliefs in South African traditions: female/male, real/divine, left/right, birth/death, I/we, one/other.
