Pastèques & Paraboles



Johanna Tordjman and the Republic of Tordjmanistan



For the run of FIAC 2019 in Paris, artist Johanna Tordjman transformed the Halle des Blancs Manteaux into an exhibition space with her installation “Act 2: Welcome” the second part in the series “Pastèques & Paraboles.” She created an immersion into the Republic of Tordjmanistan—a fictional country where all immigrants are welcome.
She displayed a selection of paintings inspired by her singular vision of the diverse communities around her. Reminiscent of a hand-built shelter, visitors at the show entered a construction of aging wood and metal siding, topped with satellite dishes, where the artist’s portraits line the walls inside.
