Cloudy Waters: Caribbean Refractions
Three new installations by Marajo, Paul & Sorin. 
(Some of my conceptual framework.... for those who read on insta...😉)

We live in a distinctively divided time, one marked by stark contrasts that coexist inside a universal setting. The dichotomies of red vs. blue, right vs. left, beautiful vs. ugly, disaster vs. triumph, are amplified by media, politics, and visual culture. A compelling image of disaster is often an equally alluring photograph, prompting reflection on the tension between these opposing forces. While there is a human impulse to somehow understand or "convert" the Other, the philosophy of Martinican writer and thinker Édouard Glissant offers an alternative. Glissant emphasizes the power of Opacity, suggesting that peaceful coexistence is a more powerful tool than attempts to transform the Other. As he writes, "Only by understanding that it is impossible to reduce anyone, no matter who, to a truth he would not have generated on his own." (Opacity, pg 194).
 
The concept of Opacity, which embraces contrast and dualities, offers a key to understanding the work of Louisa Marajo, Jérémie Paul and Yoan Sorin—three artists of French Caribbean descent currently living and working in France. Their stories, much like the volcanic islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe from which they hail—powerful landmasses rising from the shimmering blue of the Caribbean Sea—are anything but straightforward. Paul, Marajo, and Sorin, like cloudy waters that obscure transparency, navigate two overlapping realms: one rooted in the distant colonial histories of their ancestors, and the other shaped by their current lives within the globalized contemporary art world.
