PROMISE ME 

Le Lab . Cotonou 

 

Cotonou is the starting point for this journey.

The viewer enters the first installation on the waves of a singular voice, that of Clotilde Courau. The actress is not just a figure of friendship with the artist, she is also connected with Benin, where she grew up. As they are immediately immersed in the sound of the promises made on stage, the artist allows each visitor to project their own emotions, making each visit a totally unique experience. 

​

This is followed by Imaginary Cartographies: representations where borders are erased to make way for a world reinvented, a geography that eschews limitations. Each line carries the dream of another place, the promise of a different land. 

 

The outline of the drawing precedes the writing. In a form dear to the artist, the garden is adorned with words and poems, inviting us to continue the journey...

 

“Promises are points of departure for journeys to other places”
