Beschrijving:
Congoville exhibition at the Middelheim open air musem. By artist Maurice Mbikayi. He was born in 1974 in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, and currently lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa. In this figure’s clothing we recognize keys recuperated from old computer keyboards, a reference to the raw materials needed in today’s technology: it is still exploited workers who extract the ores from the ground in Congo, thus enabling the Western way of life. And afterwards, the West often dumps the materials back in Africa as toxic waste. Mbikayi collects the remains and uses them in his art. In this way, he not only denounces this skewed situation but also pays tribute to the resilience of the African people, who have found endless ways to make the most of limited resources. The ‘aesthetic observer’ is a flâneur and a dandy, an imagined cousin to the famous Congolese sapeurs. The dandy pays close attention to his appearance, as a sign of resistance and independence. Sur le vêtement de ce personnage, on reconnaît des touches d’anciens claviers d’ordinateurs, une référence aux matières premières que nécessite la technologie contemporaine: ce sont encore et toujours des travailleurs exploités qui extraient du sol congolais les minerais indispensables au mode de vie occidental. Ensuite, l’Occident renvoie souvent les déchets toxiques de ces matériaux en Afrique. Mbikayi en réunit des restes qu’il intègre à ses œuvres. Il dénonce de la sorte non seulement la situation biaisée, mais rend également hommage à la résilience des Africains qui trouvent une infinité de méthodes pour maximaliser leurs moyens limités. « L’observateur esthétique » est un flâneur et un dandy, à l’image des célèbres « sapeurs » congolais. Le dandy accorde beaucoup d’attention à son apparence, un signe de résistance et d’indépendance.
