Geordy Alexis

Carried by a cultural heritage of mixed blood from the Caribbean, Africa and Europe, I research stories that I bring back to my contemporaneity. In the thought process, I am committed to remembrances, whether or not related to historical fact, to collective memory; this is the Land I plough. For me, it is a question of testing the memory of a reading, a picture, a word, a gesture or a sound and performing a macroscopic and microscopic analysis. Thus, in my practice that uses several mediums, I try to bring out new thoughts.
