For the exhibition at ifa-Galerie Berlin, Joël Andrianomearisoa follows in the footsteps of his memories and is inspired by the lullaby his grandmother used to sing to him before going to bed. MEASURES LULLABIES AND WHISPERS is an invitation to explore the rhythm of lullabies and the power of memory. The soothing melodies, passed down from one generation to the next, are a reminder of the deep-rooted connection and sense of belonging.
