Michael MacGarry is an artist and filmmaker based in Johannesburg. His practice focuses on socio-political and economic narratives, particularly within the context of Africa, drawn through a post-humanist autobiographical mode. Frequently focused on marking key registers of modernism – MacGarry creates sculptures, films, installations and photographs that look at the contextual specifics of things and their place; how they are simultaneously distributed both as ideas and as objects in the world. His sculptural work is formed through processes of grafting and mutation, to produce fictional hybrids principally designed to question systemic paradigms: sovereign nationality; logics of making and meaning; power relations; notions of value, equity, and progress as well as the relationship between industrial technology and African resources. Exhibitions and screenings include Guggenheim Bilbao, TATE Modern, Zeitz MOCAA, Rencontres de Bamako, VideoBrasil, Film Festival Oberhausen, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Flaherty Seminar and Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival.
