Transmigration, Precy Numbi

Transmigration is an ambulatory installation, a march towards the West, a destination of DREAMS… A heroic crossing, a dream, an imaginary journey. Have a seat and join these heroes on their journey.

A sacrificial performance that highlights the heroic gesture and symbolically shows the risks and gestures of collective resistance put forward by migrants in the urgency of leaving their homeland.

In Africa, in the secrecy of the night, the pirogues lost in the middle of the Black Atlantic, hear the murmurs, voices and souls of millions of displaced, missing, anonymous people lost at sea from the time of the Triangle to clandestine emigration.

Yet who among us, the living, still listens and pays attention to these voices, to this despair, to these fragile existences? With a very large-format swing set up in the forest park, at the junction between the impossible game and the heroic dream, visual artist Precy Numbi (Kinshasa – Brussels) reveals a space where the communication of wind and time reaches us.

With the valuable cooperation of Pianofabriek and vzw femma.

★ ★ More about the artist: Precy Numbi (Exposition : Precy Numbi & www.instagram.com/precy_numbi/#), originally from Congo and living in Belgium, is an eco-futuristic sculptor and committed performer. He uses recycled materials, particularly plastic, electronic and car waste, to design costumes, masks, living sculptures and artistic performances in public spaces. He questions established norms and reminds humanity that it has the power to change the past and shape the future through the objects it creates, consumes and discards. By merging the static and the mobile, he creates circular and living structures that symbolise the continuation of life and creates a vision in which everything is connected and nothing is lost.
