The digital era and the media are mechanisms of contemporary art that Josèfa Ntjam manipulates and combines in her sculptures, films, photomontages, and sounds, using them as tools to reflect on biology, traditional African narratives, and the very construction of science fiction.

Ntjam conducts meticulous research on historical events, philosophical concepts, and scientific functions, demonstrating an interest in unearthing hidden and erased narratives as a way of reinterpreting established knowledge. With works that transcend temporal and spatial boundaries, the artist creates alternative realities and possible futures. In these spaces, the artist dissolves f ixed categories and identities to make way for new ways of being, existing, and knowing.

The artist’s films, which invite the audience to explore a complex ecosystem of organisms, are imbued with plasticity, color, and form. They can be compared to observations made through a telescope or microscope. This perspective expands our discernment of reality, heightened by a profusion of colors and organic forms that cohabit the space and result in a creation, expressing an intense relationship with the nature of nature, which is in constant transformation and interconnection.

In her practice, music plays a fundamental role in the narrative that challenges Western linearity. Under the influence of Sun Ra’s afrofuturism and the rhythm of jazz, the sound creates a sense of ambiguity and mystery for the audience, representing both a post-apocalyptic moment and the beginning of a new era.
