Award-winning filmmaker Joel Benson presents the first in a series of virtual reality films that document the studio spaces of contemporary artists based in Nigeria. Curated by Tayo Ogunbiyi, the works and archival matter shared in this film revisit the multifaceted trajectory of artist Demas Nwoko. These items include documentation of the artist’s architectural designs, his publication New Culture, theatre scripts and a selection of paintings and sculptures. The items highlight the artist’s overlapping forays into architecture, theatre, art criticism and the visual arts. The Realities of Demas offers an opportunity to reflect on histories of multidisciplinary approaches to creative expression. As contemporary artists continue to explore ideas across mediums and creative platforms, this project showcases several art historical precedents with roots in Ibadan and Asaba.
