Babysitting a Shark in a Coldroom
Comoros Encounters
2019
“Throughout his work we experience an artist who, like a virtuoso, subtly underlays the various encounters depicting the social, political and economic situation in the Comoros with a multi-layered pictorial discourse. He realizes the images as stray migrants of our world of experience – an encounter, a collision of ‘image’ and material ‘reality’, a running together, a meeting between two universes, each influencing the other.” Urs Stahel
