Alphawood Exhibitions at Wrightwood 659 presents John Akomfrah: Four Nocturnes, an exhibition comprised of two installations by London-based artist and filmmaker, Sir John Akomfrah. Mesmerizing and haunting, his works are characterized by their investigations into memory, post-colonialism, temporality, and aesthetics, often exploring the experiences of migrant diasporas globally. Installed in the second floor galleries, the exhibition is on view from September 27, 2024 – February 15, 2025. Four Nocturnes is an immersive three-channel, HD color video installation which explores the complex relationship between humanity’s destruction of the natural world and the destruction of mankind. Using Africa’s declining elephant populations as its narrative spine, Four Nocturnes is staged as a set of impressionist meditations. In the 52-minute film, Akomfrah—who was born in Ghana—questions mortality, loss, fragmented identity, mythology, and memory through a montage of archival footage and staged scenes surveying the landscape of African cultural heritage.
