India ink and silkscreen on paper. Installation of 20 drawings (24 x 30 cm), on printed canvas (250 x 250 cm). 

Jean David Nkot's installation Jeux de clowns brings together twenty portraits of political leaders in office or not, which the artist dresses with a red nose that contrasts with the very official poses adopted by the leaders. The political figures are discredited, ridiculed, compared to clowns and crowd entertainers. The portraits are placed next to each other on an assemblage of images taken from international news: shots that tell of the crises, displacements and struggles that the world's populations experience and undertake on a daily basis. The artist materializes in the exhibition space the distance between the decision-makers and their subjects, these humans who nevertheless inhabit and give life to the ruled nations. This earthly surface, this world in motion, is the one on which the elected officials, the administrators with high responsibilities, rest.
