Press Release

Digging Stars marks the fourth edition of The Pierre Lorinet Collection and Ibrahim Mahama’s first solo presentation in Singapore. Curated by Clémentine de la Féronnière and Francesca Migliorati, the exhibition is presented as part of The Pierre Lorinet Collection, curated by Edward Mitterrand.​

Known for his monumental installations made from reclaimed jute sacks and found materials, Mahama transforms everyday matter into living archives of memory, labour, and exchange. Digging Stars presents a new suite of fabric-based works, collages, photographs, and video that trace Ghana’s material legacies of colonialism, post-colonialism, and industrialisation. Through processes of collection and assemblage, Mahama repositions discarded materials as witnesses to hidden histories, prompting reflection on the global systems that connect people, economies, and places

The exhibition continues The Pierre Lorinet Collection’s commitment to presenting thought-provoking contemporary art to audiences in Singapore. Since its inception, the collection has worked closely with artists and curators to realise each edition, drawing from Pierre Lorinet’s private collection to highlight practices that engage urgent cultural and social questions through material and conceptual innovation.
