In 1989, he was thrust to the front of the international artistic scene during the \u003cem\u003eMagiciens de la terre\u003c/em\u003e exhibition (May 18\u0026ndash;August 14, 1989, Centre Georges Pompidou, Grande Halle de La Villette, Paris). Introduced alongside a hundred other artists from all over the world, he would subsequently become world famous for his drawings on maps enhanced with colored pencil.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut in May of that year, Bruly Bouabr\u0026eacute; still cherished quite a different dream: that of becoming a writer. As he was getting ready to fly to Paris, leaving African soil for the first time, the poet was commissioned by his friends Odile and Georges Courr\u0026egrave;ges (then director of the French Cultural Center of Abidjan) to write the story of his trip. This is how, a few weeks after his return, Fr\u0026eacute;d\u0026eacute;ric Bruly Bouabr\u0026eacute; would submit his \u0026#39;report\u0026#39;\u0026nbsp;of 325 handwritten pages produced in \u0026#39;33 days\u0026#39;, in which he gleefully recounts his journey \u0026ndash;at times punctuated by insignificant events\u0026ndash; while questioning the place of Man in Western society.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now, this tale of \u0026#39;a blind man in Paris\u0026#39;, as he first was to call it, had remained unpublished. The text \u0026ndash;of pleasing findings and enchanting language\u0026ndash; is that of an observer seeking to understand a changing world, with his own culture as a starting point. Imbued with such freedom and desire for identification and documentation, which characterize the work of this encyclopedic creator, the book is a very unique testimony to a milestone in the history of contemporary art.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026ndash; Jean-Hubert Martin\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.lespressesdureel.com/EN/ouvrage.php?id=8128\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":4229,"name":"Frédéric Bruly Bouabré","category":{"en":"Author","nl":"Auteur","fr":"Auteur"}}]}
