This exhibition at Transfo explores the notion of hope in all its dimensions and highlights the essential place of emotions in our lives, while questioning the necessity of others as the foundation of any human experience. Unfolding as a sentimental and political form of writing, the exhibition articulates form, materials, and ideas simultaneously.

From the outside, the inscription of the eponymous title on the façade directly addresses the public, inviting them to enter a space where affects structure the entirety of the artist’s approach. Black tissue paper, neon lights, Malagasy song, embroidery, and poetry compose an environment in which sensory experience prevails over rationality. The visitor is swept along, almost absorbed in a vortex, guided by the movement of the tissue-paper curtain and the circular melody of an enchanting song, subtle cues that trigger memories and emotions.

All My Hopes Belong To You thus reveals a core principle in Joël Andrianomearisoa’s practice: hope, like the artwork, never exists alone. It always takes shape through exchange, shared gestures, and in relation to the other, with the other and through the other.
