Hyancinthe Ouattara: Esprit Dogon, Espace Trames, Dakar, Senegal

Hyacinthe Outtara starting's starting point is an observation: the spiritual has withdrawn from the world, because "the woods have become villages, then cities". The sacred cannot, does not want to fight against modernity. His eternal place is acquired for him; he simply moved away from the urban cacophonies. It is up to humans, if they wish, to go towards him.

For Hyacinthe Ouattara, this quest starts from West to East, from Burkina to Mali, towards the Dogon Country. If this path is endless – in its horizon the Egyptian pyramids – it must nevertheless progress patiently. Here is the first step of this long journey: Esprit Dogon.
