Chino Amobi

Chino Amobi’s exhibition at schwarzescafé, Luma Westbau centers on his new novel Eroica, which the artist describes as an “epic globalist thriller”. His site-specific installation takes possession of the gallery, transforming it into a fragmented, fantasy environment, culled from his narrative. The epic is situated between history and myth. It is a tribute of one character who has made a mark on time to the entire cultural experience of a society. It derives all past, present, and future values of that society from this character thus rendering the epic source of identity serving to distinguish itself from others.
