Summary :
Interviews with Ludovic Fada�ro

The interviews with Ludovic Fada�ro happened on April the 19th, 20th, 2005 and on September the 3rd, 2006, at Bamako. Painter artist, heir of the lineage of the Fada�ro and dignitary in his village of Zinvi�, in the B�nin. He speaks about his initiation, his artistic formation, his culture and his artistic project, which is deeply feeding with it. One of his words of order is �Africa feeds Africa�.

At the Mali, in summer 2002, I started to carry out portraits : artists, gallery managers, art students� I realized that a form should be found to the words I was hearing over there. These words had been stolen, deviated, caricatured� this way reproducing behaviours of authority and submission of which we know well the negative extensions. A fix shot and a minimal sound recording, with a mike and a sober editing. This is derisory, but, actually, the essential is there. I am convinced I have took the right decision. This constraint became a positive asset.
