With Et si les mots ne suffisent plus à te décrire, ma chérie, Gaëlle Choisne examines Haitian colonial history by confronting still images from the past and contemporary moving images. This dual temporality questions the slow pace of social transformation, resistance to postcolonial change, and the ways in which history continues to shape contemporary perception. The artist juxtaposes digital videos shot in Haiti with a fixed UV print derived from archival material from the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), bearing witness to a colonial history that has often been obscured.
Traces of the colonial past resonate with living images, creating a tension between written and visual narratives. Attentive to contemporary issues, Gaëlle Choisne’s practice interrogates the complexity of the world and its political and cultural disorder – whether it be the overexploitation of nature and its resources or the remnants of colonial history, where Creole esoteric traditions, myths, and popular cultures intertwine. By foregrounding the relationships between Haiti and France, Et si les mots ne suffisent plus à te décrire, ma chérie offers a reflection on the role of images in the transmission of history.
