I Will Keep You in Good Company
Artist: Liz Johnson Arthur
Author: Liz Johnson Arthur
Publisher: MACK
I Will Keep You in Good Company rassemble des pages et des fragments tirés de plus de vingt cahiers personnels de l'artiste ghanéo-russe Liz Johnson Artur, des volumes faits à la main qu'elle conserve depuis le début des années 1990. À mi-chemin entre le journal intime et le terrain d'expérimentation, ces cahiers sont le lieu où elle a façonné son langage photographique à travers la superposition, le découpage, l'annotation et l'assemblage : un espace où elle traite non seulement des images, mais aussi la vie elle-même.
Chaque page est une surface tactile, combinant des tirages photographiques sur toile, du papier calque, des fax et des photos avec des sérigraphies, des écrits manuscrits et des textes découpés. Le résultat est une archive sensorielle et intime de moments vécus et observés – d'amis, de famille, d'inconnus, d'amants – conservés avec soin et attention.
« J'aime être juste à côté, au milieu, pour les ramener chez moi », écrit Johnson Artur. « Les garder près de moi est une façon de leur donner de l'importance et de les apprécier. » Ces cahiers sont des actes de présence – une pensée visuelle rendue physique – et constituent la base de son célèbre projet Black Balloon Archive, qui rend hommage aux communautés de la diaspora africaine. I Will Keep You in Good Company est le témoignage sincère et généreux d'une photographe qui apprend non seulement à regarder, mais aussi à rester proche.
