The Kunst Forum Mestemacher of Gütersloh in Germany presents a retrospective exhibition of Jean Marc Tingaud entitled “Ein Weg”. Here is his speech given on the day of the inauguration of the exhibition.
In my world…
In my world, there are seas, oceans, balloons, planispheres and ships…
In my world, there are clocks, engraved dates and names, injured animals, lamps and flags, photos too…
In my world, there is tenderness or love, but also the pain of exile and the horrors of war…
In my world, there are big and small stories, intimate stories, silences and reminiscences, theirs and mine too…
In my world, there are gods and virgins, saints and breasts, erotic games, mopeds, young women in flowery dresses…
In my world, there are people.
Out of sight, in the intimacy of lives and the secret of destinies, from forgotten object to lost object, from lost object to found object, it is patiently, stubbornly, that my path has been drawn. .. mein Weg.
