Un ami artiste de Dakar, Eza Komla me signale l’œuvre remarquable d’une artiste malgache que je ne connaissais pas et qui utilise la cartographie dans ses créations très « politiques ». Belle idée que de d’inscrire les êtres humains dans la carte d’où ils sont trop souvent absents.

Born a traveller, Malala Andrialavidrazana is a visual artist with a background in architecture. Her research is interested by notion of barriers and interactions within cross-cultural contexts. She digs behind scenes in a succession of back and forth between private spaces and global issues to explore social imaginaries, primarily through the photographic medium. Gradually, she invents a language whose approach is resolutely turned toward History but whose engagement in the City remains active. With a subtle hint of anthropological fieldwork, examining the in-between space in a multitude of heres and nows, her visual compositions open up the possibility of alternative storytelling.
