The sea does not write, at least visibly it gives us no sign to read, no text to decode, no story to peruse or consult.

« Je crois que ma patrie... mon capital c’est d’être apatride. C’est ce qui me pousse à continuer. C’est ce qui fait que dès que je suis quelque part, je suis très curieux, je deviens tout de suite un viennois, un français, un allemand. J’ai passé un an en Amérique, et j’ai tout de suite lu des livres en anglais. Je n’ai pas vraiment de patrie. »

Mr Godinho (Bio)
Keong-A Song

2020

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, l’illustratrice coréenne Keong-A Song retrace les aventures de Mr Godinho – alter ego de l’artiste en personnage illustré – sillonnant le monde dans le cadre de ses démarches artistiques. Elle imagine de petites histoires drôles et évoque de façon personnelle les thèmes et les sujets qui influencent le travail créatif de l’artiste Marco Godinho au quotidien, ainsi que des anecdotes en relation avec l’élaboration, la production et la mise en place des œuvres.
