Anthony Ngoya
Anthony Ngoya is a visual artist whose practice investigates displacement, memory, and the speculative possibilities of archives. Born in France to a family with roots in Congo-Brazzaville, Ngoya explores how personal and collective histories are constructed, fragmented, and reimagined within the legacies of colonialism and migration.
His work often draws from damaged or fading source materials such as family albums, press clippings, found textiles, and architectural fragments. These traces are layered, copied, painted, and digitally manipulated into painterly and photographic sculptures, installations, and moving-image works. Through this process, Ngoya foregrounds the fragility and mutability of memory, allowing images to dissolve into one another and revealing how recollection is always partial, associative, and open to reinterpretation.
