Dineo Seshee Bopape at STEVENSON in JohannesburgNever one to simplify things, Bopape's latest exhibition, her first solo in Johannesburg, has possibly the longest title you've read since you stopped buying Smiths albums. The show consists of four video installations, one of which makes its debut at this exhibition; all interrogate the notion of the 'space' within video, its nature and extent. Word on the street is that this show is all over the shop. Judge for yourself whether Bopape's statement on the exhibition illuminates in any way:
there is nothing, only effect and affectation...
there is nothing and 'the nothing' (the immaterial thing that exists but can not be named or even pointed at) that exists in the actual ....a disco of effects/affect
...an 'echo immersed in the sieve'
