The diagrammatic – thought-image or image-thought – is another powerful stream in his work, foregrounded in the installation \u003ci\u003eInertia\u003c/i\u003e, 2017. Its three parts are titled \u003ci\u003eThe Tree\u003c/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Chariot \u003c/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Class\u003c/i\u003e. The cardboard is still there, but as surface and vehicle for image and text. Katambayi Mukendi speaks of the pressure to read and write with ever-greater speed, so as not to be left behind by ‘progress’. Yet the tree, as a seemingly stationary bundle of relations and communications channelling transformative energy, is his central metaphor. \u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Every tree responds with its roots – also the mobile inversed tree, because its roots are situated in the brain.’\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eOpgeleid als wetenschapper en ingenieur probeert Jean Katambayi Mukendi een wereld op te roepen van machineachtige objecten, die hij uitvoert in karton en gekleurd papier, met of zonder bewegende delen. Het diagram – als denk-beeld of beeld-denken – is een ander belangrijk spoor in zijn werk dat op de voorgrond komt in de installatie \u003ci\u003eInertia\u003c/i\u003e (2017). De vijf delen hebben als titels: \u003ci\u003eThe Tree\u003c/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Class\u003c/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Chariot\u003c/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lamp\u003c/i\u003e en \u003ci\u003eThe Notebook\u003c/i\u003e. Er is nog steeds karton aanwezig, maar dan als ondergrond en drager van beeld en tekst. Katambayi Mukendi spreekt over de druk om steeds sneller te moeten lezen en schrijven om niet te worden voorbij gehold door de ‘vooruitgang’. Toch is de boom, als schijnbaar standvastige bundel van relaties die transformatieve energie kanaliseert, zijn centrale metafoor.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eLe carton est toujours là, mais en tant que surface et véhicule d’images et de textes.
