Dweller is Tiran Willemse’s first solo exhibition and debut in moving image and sound. A new three-channel film with spatial audio, shot in Alpine sites marked by migration, stages slow, looping gestures shaped by ritual and the four elements. Black embodiment is framed as a charged site of disruption between subject/object and life/death. Stairwell sound layers untranslated Afrikaans dialogue with his grandparents and glossolalia, invoking exile, colonial violence, and endurance.
