GLTCHD NRRTVS WHAT REMAINS? OYEKU EL MONTE
   



 
Saudade Toxosi (AIAWS)
investigates the New Indigenous African experience through GLTCHD NRRTVS,a practice of sequencing,distortion color and intentional error.

Working in photography,video,found images and found footage, she constructs nonlinear,immersive
    and sculptural visual system where meaning emerges through repetition, intrpolation,and relational dynamics by positioning images as living,unstable forces shaped by memory,frequency and transformation that is explorative.

At the heart of her practice is Equinox 1600, an evolving archive that resists conventional stability, foregrounding curation as an aesthetic strategy.

Toxosi’s work interrogates the politics of
representation, reconfiguring historical and land based narratives of Black life that is insular while creating connective spaces of resistance and possibility,through collective ancestral memory.

Her practice explores evolving modes
of being, presence,and collective experience. Making moving images both agents of transformation and vessels of relational knowledge.

All My Friends Be...

All My Friends Be… is a three-channel immersive video installation presented within a hall of mirrors. The work acts as a visual prayer, confronting the ongoing war against Black life in the United States while honoring resilience, love, and communal care.

Through layered moving images, time collapses—past and present repeat like fractals. Fire signals transformation, while red and blue lights evoke policing and ancestral presence rooted in Yorubaland, Hailti and Benin.

In the final sequence, water gathers in darkness, suggesting burial, renewal, and spiritual rest. As the image fades, the sound continues, holding space for reflection and restoration.

OYEKU. MOTHER OF DEATH ("0 yeye iku")

Oyeku marks the end of a cycle—whether in personal growth, the completion of a project, or the closing of a life lesson. It signifies both transformation and finality, including the passage of physical death.

At the same time, Oyeku carries instruction. It warns against premature endings and speaks to the importance of completion. In its negative manifestation, it reflects interruption, imbalance, and the failure to fulfill what has begun.

                                        Oyeku takes its name from a metaphysical principle within Ifa, a sacred
spiritual system from West Africa. Derived from “O yeye iku,” meaning “Spirit of the Mother of Death,” Oyeku signifies darkness—the contraction of matter, akin to what physics describes as a black hole. In human terms, it marks the end of a cycle: death, transformation, and rebirth.

These cycles unfold across all dimensions of life simultaneously. This installation reflects on the possibility of ending suffering within the African diaspora, with particular attention to African American experience.

Structured through the spiritual vessel of the Aztec black mirror, the work functions as a reflection of time and space—where film becomes a form of divination. The viewer is both witness and participant, moving within and beyond the image.




Composed of 273 found images (3 / EXU), Oyeku operates as a visual prayer toward renewal, peace, and new beginnings.
