shapeshifter

Anna Binta Diallo, Shapeshifter, Nuit Blanche Toronto, 2022 (Yonge & Shuter)
Photographer: Sam Javanrouh

Installation
Toronto - Toronto, ON
Intersection: Yonge St & Shuter St
Sept 30, 2022 - Oct 02, 2022 

Commissioned by Nuit Blanche Toronto, Shapeshifter is a series of sculptural works that expands the investigation into folklore, history, personal mythology, and how identity constantly fluctuates.

Shapeshifter: described as one that seems able to change form or identity at will, or a mythical figure that can assume different forms, as of animals (Merriam-Webster). The works within Shapeshifter continue to expand on folklore, language, history, and transcultural identity. By assembling imagery from a diverse set of archival sources, this series takes the form of a large-scale, immersive installation of sculptural works, interspersed along a path in downtown Toronto. With Shapeshifter, Diallo explores how in different situations people often transform themselves as they are always intertwined in their own histories. They mutate, morph, and are constantly shapeshifting, and as such, they might seem to float on alone like dust particles in space, but together are bound by time.
