A visual artist and curator, Bili Bidjocka’s practice confronts market laws, history, and his own Cameroonian identity. Though trained in painting, Bidjocka found his formal fine arts education insufficient in its conception of what constitutes art. His practice expands on this training through mediums as varied as installation, sculpture, writing, and theatrical staging. Certain Cameroonian ceremonies and processions are integral to the artist’s process; these cultural traditions provide opportunities for Bidjocka to explore grief and desire through his work. His work often functions as riddles through which he continues the essential examination of the meaning and purpose of creation. Bidjocka co-founded the Parisian underground association Les Frigos, as well as co-founded and directed the Matrix Art Project in New York.
