Samba Fall
Samba Fall, born in Senegal in 1977, studied Fine Arts and Animation in Senegal as well as Norway. He now lives and works in Oslo, Norway. The painter and video artist belongs to the generation of African artists who have been exploring the possibilities of digital media from their beginnings. He uses the creative freedom provided by digital animation in order to examine and reflect upon human behavior. His socio-political art not only deals with issues particular to Africa, but also shows interest in questions of global relevance. The animation film "Consomania" examines our consumerist behavior and the entailing consequences for our neighbors and for the planet. In an almost playful way, which evokes the aesthetics of video consoles or computer games, Samba Fall outlines a terrifying world of consumers of all races and societies.
