GUANGZHOU TRIENNIAL X MACGUFFIN
The Guangzhou Wedding of Things
Guangdong Museum of Art, 2019

To highlight unacknowledged African immigrants in China, MacGuffin joined forces with filmmaker Alexandre Humbert and local students to collect objects that represent Chinese and African cultures in Guangzhou. The installation and video screened at the Guangzhou Triennial staged remarkable weddings between them: Joss Paper Lacoste Shoes married Mao-Inspired Chadian Suits, iPhone Step Increasers married Nigerian Karaoke Mics, and Guangzhou Anti-Radiation Maternity Aprons tied the knot with Chinese Wigs.
