Black Forest is conceived as a crossing towards unknown and open territories, "a walk in situ in the heart of the tracks of our existential doubts", "a moment of interrogation on the imaginary of the great world and its content". Like an introspective, it deploys the whole vocabulary of the artist's multiple and deliberately mobile writings, suspended between the dreamlike narrative of everyday life and the need to hybridize situations, human particularities and geographies. Nearly one hundred works, iconic pieces and new productions, form a pathway during which the artist touches on the cardinal points of contemporary society as well as the themes of the global village, travel, cultural identity, globalization, the permeability of borders, ecology and contemporary ritualization. Passing naturally from sculpture, to drawing, to painting, to installation and to poetry, this colorful and playful ballad is punctuated in three times, from the square room, "the trunk" of the exhibition, to the old winery "the Forest" which will offer a ritualized experience punctuated by the sounds of birds, before ending in the nave to find the "peaks". Through this disruption of the order of things, Pascale Marthine Tayou proposes another look at the everyday under an apparent aesthetic casualness. Fictional narratives and rituals overlap and intermingle in a happy cacophony that celebrates this new poetry of the human... Black Forest lives as a total experience, offered simultaneously to the sight, the hearing, the smell, which confronts the visitor with the clash of cultures and invites him to engage in the reality in perpetual mutation of the world in which he lives. This initiatory journey in the heart of the mysteries of the black forest becomes a psychological condition that invites us to cross our fears, our joys, our indecisions and our worries, and to take us by the hand to invent a new ritual that would reduce the borders that separate us and would say the desire to discover the other.
