Tayou's sculptural installations and drawings, often divided into chambers and anti-chambers, are revolving meditations on how the African continent can avoid further entropic events leading to the destruction and self-destruction of people and countries. His poetic process of composition aims to establish different points of energy where chaotic images converge to be recycled into positive attitudes or ancient responsibilities and fresh self-punishments. Rattling our sophisticated aesthetics, this sculptor's work imposes a different perspective about a continent that has been exploited and abandoned and left to suffer the results of what we mistakenly call the undeveloped politics of tribes.
