The Gamanké Museum propose une collection de masques gamanké du pays Kanéma qui s’inscrit dans le domaine de la fiction en utilisant des codes proches d’une réalité muséale. Ce projet convoque la place du masque dans nos sociétés européennes et dans nos institutions. Le Gamanké Muséum est accessible uniquement sous forme de jeu vidéo.

Feitiço is a fiction that retraces the history of a collection of 102 miniature masks from the Congo, belonging to a private collector in Louvain-la-Neuve. Like an archaeologist, the imprint of these objects allows me to trace their stories while raising questions related to the theft of objects, the fetishization of masks, and the sacralizing museum displays attributed to them.

TheHerbarium... is a fictional reconstruction of an herbarium that could belong to the Congolese greenhouses of Laeken. This proposal is a response to the year-round inaccessibility of the greenhouses, the lack of plant inventory, the disappearance of Congolese species due to the Belgian climate, the colonial history of the building, and my interest in the plant as a political and living element that carries stories.

Caldarium is a proposal for immersion at the heart of a section of the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken. This emblematic building of Belgian heritage, created in 1873 by Alphonse Balat for King Leopold II, houses one of the largest collections of exotic plants in the world. The aim is not to highlight the exceptional nature of this building, but to interrogate its political status throughout history, as well as the role it still occupies today.

Nénima is a sensory ballad that oscillates between my mother’s stories about Mali, the country of my birth, and the imagined universe I have constructed over time. It is an invitation to travel into an ambiguous space, on the border of reality, perhaps that of the child in its mother’s womb, imbued with sounds, atmospheres, and diffuse images experienced from within.

I left for Dakar with a suitcase containing a collection of small clay objects made solely from memories, images, fantasies, and clichés. These forms accompanied me throughout the journey and were left behind on the last day in places I consider key. This performative action can be interpreted as liberating.
