Oliver Koerner von Gustorf: Koerner von Gustorf, O: Barthélémy Toguo, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

Barthélémy Toguo's art is a call for community and love, but there is nothing naïve about it. His paintings, graphic art, sculptures, performances, and installations explicitly grapple with colonialism, migration, and inequality; he directs our attention to the devastations wrought by humans, to the slow deaths of nature and cultures. He aspires to create work that establishes non-hierarchical connections; to build, as he puts it, a "world of solidarity and generosity" that knows neither ego nor identity, a community of all forms of life that flourish and pass away so that new living beings can sprout from their remains-Endless Blossoms. Toguo envisions a colorful future, a universe of exuberant energy and joie de vivre.
