Digital FORT: LA Timpa’s “Self Respect” defies categorization

Nigerian-born, Toronto-based experimental artist LA Timpa's submission to Digital FORT is a thrillingly disorienting experience. A 13-minute visual art piece built out of 58-, 20-, and 17-second studio recordings, the performance brings together storytelling, beats, soundscapes, gestures, and speech for something truly unique. The video, courtesy of Kathryn Tompkins, "emphasizes the spirit of the music capturing constant movements and gestures while riding a remote control car through the streets of South London," LA Timpa wrote in an email to The FADER.

Digital FORT is a two-day event bringing together over 100 artists to help raise money for those hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. To find a full list of charities, funds, and resources we’re highlighting throughout FORT, click here.
