Mbali Mdluli is a cross-disciplinary artist working with video, collage, and photography. The artist’s personal narratives are mirrored in her treatment of material, which often falls subject to rigorous processes of deconstruction and reconstitution. Her use of horizontal planes conveys a sense of ambivalence in contending with personal events and sociopolitical themes in an artistic framework, while the presence of analogue and digital tools such as scanners, toy cameras, and expired film indicates Mdluli’s search for a new visual language altogether. She attended the Market Photo Workshop in Johannesburg in 2010.
