Ife Day

Born in 1987 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and today based in Marseille (France), Ife Day is a visual artist and performer. In the folds of a choral universe that blends bodies of text, videos, installations and dance, their protean playground becomes the place where deviant poetics/politics materialise. Closely linked to the theme of displacement, Ife Day invests the physical-invisible, the chemical-sensible-prosaic to thwart the gaze, invest the dream, weave landscapes and offer subterranean detours. The artist develops a spatial, temporal and corporeal vocabulary inspired by Creole spaces in order to highlight different layers of alienation in family and society.
