She moves (Phase I)
2010-2013
6000 photographs, approximately 2,300km selected routes in the congo basin rain forest.
An attempt to re-capture a feeling I had as a child, driving through these forests with my parents. An unknown spirit of moving trees.The mosaics created from her moving stills tend to stop or reduce individual pictorial movements, evoking the struggles between basic impressions and the institutionalised norm.
The photographs were later on printed on transparent film and coated with epoxy resin.

Eyongakpa holds degrees in Plant biology and Ecology from the University of Yaounde 1 and was a resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam.
