A 7-metre-long carpet, woven by women in a Berber mountain village near Marrakech, spreads across the floor. Small objects have been woven into it, including bits of plastic and metal pendants, keys and beads – found items that Choisne imbued with the status of talismans, objects that are considered to have magical powers and ritual significance as lucky charms. In Choisne’s artistic practice, talismans also reference the syncretism at work in Haiti and the Caribbean – blending diverse ideas, philosophies and languages into new knowledge systems. Examples include the Creole language and the practice of voodoo in Haiti, which emerged from a mix of West African beliefs and Christian elements during the slave trade. In the exhibition, the talisman-adorned carpet serves more than a symbolic purpose. Within the Temple of Love, designed as a safe space for self-care and caring for others, Lie close to your ancestors turns the exhibition space into a zone for rest and relaxation.
