Malik Jama
Malik's practice focuses on projection mapping, digitally manipulated photography and film and industrial sound.
Malik Jama is an artist working mainly digitally, manipulating photography and film. His work illuminates spaces and ignites imaginations through his colourful projection mapping. His passion for photography focuses mainly on architecture and industry as well of bodies of water. He transforms original images into a dystopian and hallucinatory world of colour, using motifs from disaster movies, heavy with sci-fi feeling and hypnotic rhythm.
In 2022 Malik was commissioned by LAC Collective to create a bespoke projection mapping piece for Soup Kitchen, transforming the basement walls with light and photographic collage, mapped perfectly to the industrial fittings of the space.
Since then, in 2023 Malik was commissioned to create artwork for two huge light commissions. Glow at RHS Garden Bridgewater, and secondly Lightwaves, which took place at Salford Quays and MediaCity.
In 2023 Malik was invited on residency in Germany to create bespoke projection mapping work for Chemnitz/ Manchester twin town 40th anniversary celebrations.
