“If you succeed in building a model, you visualize what is living inside you, so that the outside world can adapt it, study it, discover it, see it. That’s it.” — Bodys Isek Kingelez

Visionary artist Bodys Isek Kingelez is currently featured in a remarkable retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (through January 1, 2019) that was made possible by the inimitable Jean Pigozzi and the CAAC—The Pigozzi Collection, with an exhibition design by Carsten Holler. Based in then-Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), Kingelez made sculptures of imagined buildings and cities that reflected dreams for his country, his continent, and the world. These rarely shown works are a call for us all to imagine, in the artist’s words, a “better, more peaceful world.” This video is excerpted from the film Kingelez, Kinshasa a City Rethought.
