CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Moody, brooding and floating, Malagasy artist Joel Andrianomearisoa's 'The Five Continents of All Our Desires” is transforming the towering atrium of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art in Cape Town.
An installation by Malagasy artist Joel Andrianomearisoa "The Five Continents of All Our Desires," is seen in the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town, South Africa, Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022. The work transforms the towering atrium of the museum with black silk paper suspended in the museum's multi-story central atrium.
Malagasy’s sculptures in black silk paper are suspended in the museum’s multi-story central atrium. The constructions form a massive, slowly moving mobile that suggests geographical archipelagos and play off the building’s massive concrete curving walls. “It is a revelation and honor to host an artwork of this scale and ambition, Koyo Kouoh. the Zeitz Museum’s executive director and chief curator said in a statement about “The Five Continents.” “To hold, to speak, to listen and to love — sentiments and values that echo our mission are brought center stage with this incredible work.”The site-specific installation the museum commissioned from Andrianomearisoa includes a sound element and the artist’s drawings.
