15 BARTHÉLÉMY TOGUO M BALMAYO, CAMEROON, He is a nomadic artist who lives and works between Paris, Düsseldorf and Bandjoun in Cameroon. He belongs to these artists who did not choose between Africa, Europe or the rest of the world where they exhibit their works. In Boat of Exodus, Toguo revisits the notion of journey and trips. He explores the theme of exile, but also implicitly, the beginning of another life. Indeed, Toguo s creations question the status of the foreigner, the migrant, the immigrant, and the difficulty of establishing one s identity.

16 IN BRIEF Toguo says : «As an immigrant, particularly after the fall of the Berlin wall, I realised how deep was the desire to depart, travel and discover. Exile is a notion inscribed in the human condition without any distinction of race or cultural origin.»
