LE NOIRE DE..CVII, Collage and painting on paper, 2025, 70 x 50 cm, courtesy the artist

The group of works „LE NOIR DE …“ was for years the basis of Anys Reimann’s artistic practice. The title the group of works plays with the masculine „Le“ and the feminine „Noire“ – including all genders, potentials and possibilities.

„LE NOIRE DE …“ is a bow at westafrican author and director Ousmane Sembéne and his film „La Noire de“ from 1966, his main actress Mbissine Thérése Diop, as well as her film character Diouana. A homage to the modern Diouana. For all the women she could be today. And the ones that are.
