Abstract

This article refers to the notions of mobility, exile, displacement and border crossing in Barthélémy Toguo’s decolonial artistic approach. It looks back at some of the Cameroonian artist’s highly provocative performances from 1996 to 2002 in order to address issues of racism and immigration. From Road on Exile to New World Climax, through Spiral Land, Climbing down, Das Bett and Transit, we learn to understand that his artistic work, through its intercultural and interaesthetic scope, is a global, (non-in)dividual and decolonial art.
