Summary :
Interviews with Ludovic Fadaïro
The interviews with Ludovic Fadaïro happened on April the 19th, 20th, 2005 and on September the 3rd, 2006, at Bamako. Painter artist, heir of the lineage of the Fadaïro and dignitary in his village of Zinvié, in the Bénin. 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.
