Le 13/02: un rond

Je ne résiste pas à rejouer après avoir vu l’exposition « le fil voyageur ». C’est tout simplement sublime ! Œuvre de Sheila Hicks

Made after French artist Marie Caire Tonoir’s winter stay in Biskra, Algeria (بسكرة) in 1899–1900, the portrait sits at the crossroads of intimate observation and the colonial-era “traveler’s” gaze that shaped so many North African images in French art. The title locates the sitter by place rather than name. It’s an absence that matters, yet the painting refuses spectacle with no theatrical setting and just the quiet insistence of her presence. The close, bust-length portrait centers an unidentified young woman against a softly brushed, gray-beige background. Her medium-toned skin is modeled with warm light across the cheeks and nose. Her dark eyes are heavily shadowed, steady, and direct. Fine facial tattoos mark her features including a small motif on the forehead and a narrow vertical line descending from the lower lip to the chin. Her head with dark black hair is crowned with an abundant, turban of dark wrapped fabric that swells outward on both sides. Long, tiered earrings hang beside her face with silver discs above darker, fan-like pendants. She wears a red-brown blouse with a modest opening at the throat, wrapped in a darker shawl. The paint surface is visibly textured, as if the artist worked quickly and confidently, letting edges soften into the surrounding air. Her tattoos and jewelry are rendered with restraint and specificity, suggesting lived adornment rather than costume, while her unsmiling mouth and level gaze read as self-possessed, even guarded. For Tonoir, trained within academic circles and exhibiting in Paris, Biskra offered subjects outside metropolitan life. For the sitter, this moment records a person whose identity exceeds what the archive preserves. Seen now, the work asks us to hold both truths at once: its beauty and dignity, and the unequal power that determined who was named, who was looked at, and how that image traveled.

Derrière le terme « zombi » se nichent de nombreux fantasmes, mais aussi des croyances vivaces et des craintes réelles.
En Haïti - territoire exclusif des zombis - ce vocable recouvre de nombreux sens, à la fois anthropologiques et sociologiques.
