"I found the idea of forensics interesting. Kemang Wa Lehulere described making the works in the World of Nat Nakasa series as an attempt to gather traces of Nakasa’s thoughts and ideas through gestures, and then arranging them in this storyboard-like form to create an abstracted narrative. It is an attempt to build an image of who this stranger might be.

I think it is similar to Kathryn Smith’s work in the Psychogeographies series. It is also what we do as researchers with archival photos and artworks. What one ends up with is a perception of someone, which can never be fully whole."
