600 x 355 cm per panel

Mixed medium, textile

Joël Andrianomearisoa works across several mediums including textiles, drawing, sculpture, and installation. In his textile works, he underscores the cultural significance of fiber arts in Madagascar, which hold a symbolic role tied to history, memory, and ritual. With vivid colours and dense textures evoking the abundance of the natural world, this monumental work opens onto an imaginary landscape. Its title is borrowed from a poetry collection by Maurice Ramarozaka (1931–2010), a Malagasy writer and diplomat who viewed poetry as a way of being and living across multiple geographies. The work belongs to an ongoing series that includes three works now held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Open from October 10 to November 2, 8am to 1am. Free access.

Students from the École du Louvre are available every day from October 21 to 26, 2pm to 17:30pm, to provide visitors with information.
