Steve C. E. Knoll
My practice moves between painting, installation, and documentary condensation. Drawing on diasporic experience and a family history shaped by colonial entanglements, I examine how memory operates as a mode of thought shaping space. At its core lies the entanglement of personal history, collective image production, and processes of cultural attribution. Engaging with Western and African theoretical and visual traditions, I question linear historical narratives and dominant regimes of vision without illustrating them. I understand material as a carrier of sedimented experience — as an intersection between archive, projection, and present.
