The Molecules of Worship

(by Thierry Bouffeteau)

n. 1 Cathédrale - photograph

The idea behind this work came to me one day when, in the middle of India, my son and I came across a

wondrous banyan tree. It was heavily loaded – festooned - with all sorts of humble home-made little bundles.

They were mostly made of pieces of cloth, plastic bags in all colours, stones and bits of wood, all tied up in

vertical garlands. They suggested a great sense of worship that struck me forcefully.

This noble ficus, with its commanding presence, reminded me of Europe’s great cathedrals, but instead of the

upward soaring pinnacles of the cathedrals, there were the long, thin, down-thrusting branches with their

lovingly placed burdens.

These ex-voti, despite their different materials, were very similar in their intentions to ours. In Europe formal

carved marble panels with short sentences of thanks or of hope, little naïf paintings, embossed metal

representations of sick organs were transformed here in India into the poor materials of everyday life.

I became suddenly aware of how much fresh and unexpected beauty is contained in the various objects used

in Hindu rituals. What fascinates me in Hindu religiosity is the apparent lack of interest for orderliness and its

clear taste for the chaotic and sensual accumulation of various materials. Oil or ghee spread on black stones,

petals and flowers scattered over a statue, bits of shiny metal foil, incense sticks, broken coconuts... all

gathered casually together.

The pieces presented in this show are therefore mostly concerned with the religiosity of India and its physical

expressions.

On the one hand are the noisy collages, their textural energy coming from thick layers of torn advertisements,

while on the other are the silent light boxes, recalling the concentration of prayer, my adult reinterpretation of

the childish exercise of punch drawing.
