Philosophies of Being, Perception, and Expressivity of Being is a multidimensional project by the philosopher-artist-composer Tanka Fonta, which integrates a large-scale visual mural, a three-part sound installation with three orchestral scores, poetic readings, and a performative script.
Tanka Fonta (Buea, 1966. Lives in Berlin) is a visual artist, poet, writer, composer, and philosopher. His work explores human consciousness, the psychology of perception, and the interrelation between thought, language, and visual phenomena. Fonta’s practice investigates the expressive and perceptive dimensions of thought, the evolving ecologies of the mind, and the mythopoetic narratives that shape human experience. He has participated in exhibitions at institutions such as Haus der Kulturen der Welt and SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin, and Kunstverein Hannover.
This participation is supported by ifa – Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, Santa Marcelina Cultura and Cultura Artística.
