L’exposition In-visibilité Ostentatoire, en référence aux silences assourdissants de l’Histoire, présente le travail d’une dizaine d’artistes qui explorent les non-dits sur des faits d’hier et d’aujourd’hui ou des événements que la mémoire a oublié ou choisi d’oublier. En relatant certains faits historiques passés sous silence à leur époque, elle évoque les mécanismes à l’oeuvre, les amnésies collectives ou les tabous sociaux qui influencent nos choix et nos silences. In-visibilité Ostentatoire donne aussi à voir le travail de certains artistes qui puisent leur inspiration dans le monde Invisible, celui des “mistè” (esprits) qui semblent tirer les ficelles de la réalité haïtienne. Ce monde invisible et son cohorte de croyances populaires est, pour nombre d’entre eux, une source d’inspiration. L’exposition explore l’”invisibilité ostentatoire” d’Haïti lors des grands rendez-vous internationaux, en insistant sur la visibilité de ce qui aurait dû être évident.

aesthetic techniques that interrogate

Forensic Architecture, collaborated with the Society of Friends of Halit, at documenta 14.

The results of their research, presented here in a video titled 77sqm_9:26min (2017) after the size of the internet café and the length of time that was the subject of police investigation, show that Temme gave a false testimony.

“Art has been very good in the last decades in problematizing the notion of truth, insisting that narratives are more complex than we’re told, that art is about doubt,” Weizman told a small group of press as he presented the project together with Ayse Gülec, of the Society of Friends of Halit, and the project manager of the forensic investigation, Christina Varvia. “We want to show another possibility of art—one that can confront doubt, and uses aesthetic techniques in order to interrogate.”
