I’m Taey Iohe, an artist, living in London. I write.
I am a digital-media based fine art practitioner, engaging with discourses within geopolitics and spatial theory.
My main interest is in how the nature of a visual language establishes a context within aesthetics and cultural and political discourse for the development of a diasporic identity, and a subjectivity as virtual nomad. The term ‘virtual nomad’ is my own invention that indicates a flowing identity associated with various spaces and cultural backgrounds. I use narrative visual elements within multimedia based installations. My subject matter is informed by questions surrounding the status of art writing and the nature of linguistic transitions in a nomadic and mobile geopolitical frame. In my art space, I examine the position of subalternity within the mainstream media as an ‘elsewhere’ construction; a fluid and a-bordered status and method of overcoming political boundaries, addressing questions of subjectivity and sexual and national-ethnic self-definition and identity.
