OKOYOMON, Precious
Precious Okoyomon: One Either Loves Oneself Or Knows Oneself

The first institutional publication on Precious Okoyomon's work is an extraordinary artist's book offering a wealth of visual and textual material that stimulates our minds, senses, and imagination.

Precious Okoyomon's works traverse art, poetry, and performance in an investigation of identity, colonial history, spirituality, and people's relationship to things and the living environment. Okoyomon became known to a wider audience with installations that incorporate materials such as soil, plants, and animals: At the Venice Biennale in 2022, the artist transformed the hall of the Arsenale into a lush, rampant ecosystem that linked the processes of nature with afrofuturistic visions. The publication also contains a number of conversations and a poster.
