Escape, digital generations

The wider Collective Amnesia project is illustrative of Christelle’s capacity to highlight prescient discourse within digital image culture, making visible forgotten histories of dance, migration and music culture emerging from Ivory Coast and 21st Century France. The film follows the wanderings of a young woman, Helma, who tries to regain her memory as a metaphor for the forgotten memories and inherent lonelineless of contemporary black life in France.

Oyiri’s film rediscovers Logobi using 3D animation, found footage, and staged scenes in a fictional story of a girl who loses her memory and finds cues from her past within art, sorcery, music, and a newfound friendship with another young immigrant person. Sonically, Logobi is a hybrid combination of frenetic tecktonik/hard-tech sound and coupé-décalé, an Ivorian-French musical genre started by Douk Saga that emerged in the midst of the Ivorian political crisis and civil war. Oyiri dynamically embeds coupé-decalé—thematically a juxtaposition of raging optimism and hedonism—throughout her sonic and performance practice. For each of her films, the artist composes an accompanying score. Her propulsive use of music as a medium shapes the silence and voices of her characters, the architectures of her digital animation, and her hybrid use of language. In turn, Oyiri contemplates the erasure of Black French contributions to music and club culture, reflecting her own multi-modal ethos of maximalism within her long-standing investment in music production and DJing.
