“My work explores the imaginary between urban cartography and the sacrification of the body. I attempt to question the cartographic policy of Africa and the rest of the world in contemporary society."
Alexandre Kyungu Mwilambwe was born in 1992, in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, where he currently lives and works.
He studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa, he is co-founder of Vision Total Group and works in collaboration with Kin Art Studio (KAS).
Alexandre has participated in several group exhibitions and residency workshops in his country and abroad.
Kyungu combines painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation in his artistic practice. His favorite medium is the “door” that, for him, is synonymous with openness, meeting, and discovery in an increasingly universal society. His work is built around questions related to the urban space, exploring the parallels between urban mapping and scarification of the body.
His work functions as a “cartographic essay”, in which he tries to build a new and global world while merging and juxtaposing the maps of different cities. It is a way for him to question the city, to erase the boundaries between peoples, and give birth to a single territory in the imaginary space of his work.
