Ibrahim Mahama has his first solo show in a German gallery, "Vanishing Points 2014 - 2020," featuring a hundred old wheelbarrows collected from workers in Ghana and arranged as a site-specific installation. The rusty, worn wheelbarrows symbolize daily hard labor and construction, and the work is part of his project "Parliament of Ghosts," a debate forum for social sculpture. Both projects are documented in the book.

Ibrahim Mahama, a Ghanaian artist, presents his first solo exhibition in a German gallery with the captivating installation "Vanishing Points 2014 - 2020" at REITER. For this site-specific masterpiece, the artist has sourced a hundred old wheelbarrows from hardworking individuals in Ghana, exchanging them for new ones. The weathered and worn wheelbarrows bear the unmistakable imprint of arduous daily labor, serving as a poignant symbol of this. Moreover, they encapsulate the architectural craftsmanship that has shaped the artist's homeland throughout history.
While the work stands on its own, it also finds its place within the broader context of his project "Parliament of Ghosts," which was showcased in Tamale, Ghana, in 2020. This thought-provoking forum for debate extends the concept of social sculpture, fostering meaningful conversations and inspiring change. Both projects in Tamale and Leipzig are meticulously documented in the accompanying book, published to accompany the exhibition.
From June 5th to September 11th, 2021, visitors can immerse themselves in the captivating world of "Vanishing Points 2014 - 2020" at REITER|Leipzig.
