Abstract
Georges Adéagbo knows how to reveal the affinities and similarities, sometimes unsuspected, that can exist between different cultures. The first African artist to receive the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Biennale in 1999, in his installations Adéagbo extrapolates the notions of time and space to illustrate in a broader way what concerns us as individuals in connection with ourselves, with the group and with the world in which we live.
