The US premiere of Gabrielle Goliath’s (South African, b. 1983) acclaimed, video series Personal Accounts (2024–ongoing) responds to the impacts of patriarchal violence in a range of global contexts from Johannesburg to Kyiv. Intimately documenting survivor testimonials, in collaboration with the contributors, the artist has withheld narrative speech within the videos, instead portraying the moments in between participants’ recounts: breaths, sighs, cries, humming, and even laughter. Goliath’s sonic cycles trouble false binaries of the “voiced” and “voiceless,” revealing the enormity of what can be conveyed in moments of perceived silence. The gestures and spaces between words open into a crescendo of communal expression that foregrounds empathetic registers beyond textual meaning.

Gabrielle Goliath is an artist who lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. She has exhibited at Talbot Rice Gallery, University of Edinburgh, UK (2024); the 60th Venice Biennale (2024); Dallas Contemporary (2022); Kunsthaus Baselland (2022); Konsthall C, Stockholm (2021); Göteborgs Konsthall (2020); and Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris (2020). Her works are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Mudam Museum of Modern Art; Kunsthalle Zürich; TATE Modern; Frac Bretagne; Iziko South African National Gallery; Johannesburg Art Gallery; and Wits Art Museum, among others. She is the recipient of the Future Generation Art Prize – Special Prize (2019), the Standard Bank Young Artist Award (2019), and the Institut Français, Afrique en Créations Prize at the Bamako Biennale (2017). Goliath will also be included in New Photography: Lines of Belonging, on view at The Museum of Modern Art from September 14, 2025, through January 17, 2026.
