Permanent installation at AU dormitory in Nansana, Uganda, 2015

Acrylic, pigments et soil on walls, ceiling, pillars and guardrail, various dimensions, 2015

Hall of the AU Dormitory has the potential of a plurality of viewpoints, I wanted to focus on the harmony between the materials, the environment and the spirit of place. From the ever changing sky, light revealing brick walls, rain, I wanted to make parts of the installation. Everything that exists or lives in the world is continually changing, it is the same for continents. From the world map painted on the hall space and its environment, the imagination can create its own forms. This imagination is specific to each one, tied to his personal history, his culture or his background, related to viewers’ movements in space and the views they create; shapes or colors are always reassembled. The ductility of the world reveals itself throughout the subjectivity of sights.
