This catalog offers an in-depth look at the artistic journey of Joël Andrianomearisoa, centered around his 2025 solo exhibition TOKOTANY, held at Primo Marella Gallery, Milan. The publication serves as both a visual archive and a critical reflection on the Malagasy artist’s evolving practice, highlighting his ability to craft poetic, emotionally charged spaces that traverse geography, memory, and materiality.
Known for his multidisciplinary approach, Andrianomearisoa weaves together textiles, paper, sound, and architectural elements to evoke the intangible—love, absence, longing, and belonging. His work resists categorization, existing in a realm where fragility and structure, shadow and light, silence and language coexist. Deeply rooted in his Malagasy identity yet strikingly universal, Tokotany—which suggests a "yard" in Malagasy—embodies his exploration of origin and place, inviting viewers to engage with the physical and emotional landscapes we carry within.
