TRANSIT - TRANSITION
The transit of Venus undoubtedly put Rodrigues in the limelight at that time of the event . A small , mountainous , remote island with mostly fisherman, less known, barely accessible and very much closed on itself . It reminded me of how not an event but a simple print went around the world putting another island , Japan which was similarly closed on itself to the big world was put into the limelight suddenly but of course in a much bigger way , Hokusai’s great wave off Kanagawa .
This Installation is composed of 3 body of works where tried to make an juxtaposition by taking three elements of both islands .
Th event , an artist and a print .
The transit of Venus , the event itself
Benjamin Gontran , the best known accordéon player of the island .
Print of banana leaves with the blue that was a crucial part of the print .
