“I am a stranger in the country of my birth by virtue of being to European in my appearance and culture. But at the same time I am unwelcome in Europe on account of my being too African. I embrace Africa, a violent and volatile space where nothing can be taken for granted, where the very best of both the First and the Third Worlds blend and clash. A place where you can die for what you believe in or for the small change in your pocket. I am the abandoned product of a failed experiment, a hybrid of cultures and identities, a contradiction in terms. Born into an upside down world at the tail end of the millennium, my only responsibility is to this time and place. In rejecting my (Colonial) moral heritage and all that it spawned I became guilty once again by virtue of that rejection. I accept that I will now remain guilty until I die, perhaps even dying as a result of my guilt. But I have witnessed firsthand the expediency of morality in South Africa, the easy changing of sides and positions without guilt or remorse. What was good is now simply bad and bad is good, but the construction of good and bad remains unaltered and unchallenged from when it was originally designed and prescribed by the settlers and missionaries and later tailored by Apartheid's ideologues. My Art grows out of this guilt and resulting perversity, an expression that will respond by any means necessary to the histories that define it and the world it inherited and must now inhabit. My guilt is my freedom and at the same time my freedom the cause of my guilt” Kendell Geers, the perversity of my birth, the birth of my perversity, September 1995, www.kendell-geers.net |
