This project explores a wandering memory through postcard-like paintings depicting utopian landscapes. It aims to deconstruct representations, stereotypes, and prejudices about the region while offering a journey into the poetic universe of the Tout-Monde as conceptualized by the poet Édouard Glissant. The imagery evokes the history of diverse trajectories and bears witness to a series of clandestine performative actions in the heart of the tropical ecosystem along the coast of Guadeloupe. Installations of everyday objects invade the space (rocks, cliffs, lush flora, sandy shores), questioning this land of migration, diversity, insularity, as well as the post-colonial Amerindian Caribbean identity.
The project serves as an ode to the freedom of the cosmopolitan filmmaker JML. It reveals his connections to the native island of his parents, his relationship with the rest of the world, and his plural and multicultural identity.
