Bortolami is pleased to present TRANCE, an exhibition of new works by Paul
Mpagi Sepuya, and the artist’s second solo show with the gallery. With a new body of works depicting the studio and gallery, Sepuya weaves together new and ongoing lines of inquiry to create a stark constellation of image and form that reverberates with a hypnotic tension. The exhibition expands and shifts the ways the artist depicts interior space in photographs by extending his studio pictures from the constructed “staged” area into the as-is quotidian workspace, and further still, by photographing within the same gallery where the images are now exhibited.
