We carried out this installation from September 9 to 16, 2012 on the Digue du Large. A week in front of the sea, drunk with the wind and the sun, doing this ridiculous and magnificent gesture together. The work withstood a force 9 mistral, but not a few human hands. We have seen of our work only what we give you to see here. Barely completed, the installation was destroyed by a passer-by from La Digue and not a single gold leaf was found around it! We will never know what displeased him so much, or perhaps this passer-by got caught up in the work, seeing in it valuable material ? The investigation was vigorously carried out within the Port and will remain unanswered: who stole the gold from Africa ? that was the question asked, they simply told me at the security service secretariat… The two days that followed, we again covered a few blocks with what was left of the adhesive, to finally see from the sea, during a boat trip, the bursts of light from Golden Africa…

Indivision - Hassan Darsi / Mahi Binnebine
"Indivision is the story of a desire, that of two artists whose artistic universes seem to follow parallel paths without being called upon to meet. A desire that has its source in what brings them together humanly and in what animates them, but also in the desire to confront a new experience and to question their respective practices... The desire to give birth to their differences and what unites them a third artist, an artist in "indivision", nourishes their past and present experience, their stories, their resonances and the recurring poetic imprints in their work as artists."
