Créée pour sa participation à Documenta 15 (2022, Kassel, Allemagne) avec le collectif Segou Art, ADN Collectif se veut le témoignage de l’Artiste, sa contribution en faveur de la sauvegarde du Patrimoine culturel de son pays le Mali.
De pliages de papier journal, en mémoire de son père imprimeur, en ligotages de fil de coton naissent les "gris-gris", à l’image des amulettes protectrices portées par les chasseurs de la confrérie Dozo du Mali, gardiens d’un savoir mystique séculaire. Reproduits à la main par centaines, chacun est une pièce originale. Les gris-gris sont ici reliés pour construire trois tentures de 250 x 500 cm. Elles s’imbriquent l’une l’autre, en arcs concentriques et enveloppent, au cœur de l’œuvre un réceptacle contenant les pièces à protéger.

Created for his participation in Documenta 15 (2022 Kassel, Germany) with the Segou Art collective, ADN Collectif is a testimony of the Artist, his contribution, in favor of the preservation of the cultural heritage of his country.
Folding cardboard and newspaper, in memory of Dakouo's father, a printer, and tying each piece with cotton thread, gives birth to the "gris-gris", crafted in the image of the protective amulets worn by the hunters of the Dozo brotherhood of Mali, custodians of age-old mystical knowledge. Reproduced manually, each one a unique piece, the gris-gris are linked here to construct three 250 x 500 cm hangings. They interlock one another, in concentric arcs and envelop, in its core a receptacle containing the protected pieces.
