With this installation REGENERATION, I wanted to retrace the memory of black people who
00:27
created the Paris Noir and who, in a way, are pioneers and pioneers who have led us
00:32
in different fields, artistic, intellectual or other, and a way for me to honor them.
00:38
I would also talk about the Black Atlantic, the Black Caraïbes, since these characters
00:42
are both American and on the other side of things.
00:45
And what was really important in this installation for me, it's the different components
00:50
and the different artistic, intellectual and food stratifications in the archive
00:56
to be able to compose this installation not only in archive, but also in painting and in volume.
01:02
At the end of the 70s, with my grandparents in Pointe-à-Pitre, I discovered graffiti,
01:27
this famous intellectual poet who formed a triangle with Senghor, Césaire and Gontrand Damas.
01:35
And finally, when I arrived in Paris in 1984, I discovered graffiti in another form,
01:39
artistic and vindictive.
01:41
But the two things have given me the foundation of all this, and above all, the fundamental,
01:46
as Gontrand Damas says, is that it allowed me to discover my history, America, the Caraïbes,
01:53
slavery, colonization, departmentalization, then I would say South America.
