Barthélémy Toguo (*1967) has been focusing in his artistic practice on highly topical issues of identity and social belonging, migration, flight, displacement, and those restrictions that stem from territorial borders and politics regarding sovereign rights. Against the background of his dual Cameroonian-French citizenship, he thereby explicitly adopts a non-Eurocentric approach. He is above all concerned about the causes of ecological problems and their impact on society: drinking and industrial water shortages, maldevelopments in agriculture, the effects of climate change, corruption, armed conflicts or lack of economic development prospects.

Homies Prayers is the sister performance of the body of work Homies. It consists of a live textual sound piece where synthetic mechanisms generate a polyphony of voices that speak of islands, navigation, perspectives and UFO's.

"The installation consists of a series of pieces of furniture, objects, tools and gadgets that belong to three very specific spaces; a scientific laboratory, a professional kitchen and an artist's studio. The material to be examined and studied, to be cooked or manipulated in a variety of ways is clay or ceramic. Thus, the pieces arranged refer to organs, bones, some to everyday objects and others to processed ingredients.

This mixture of these three spaces may cause some confusion at first, but by observing the different forms and the way the ceramic pieces are worked, we understand the similarity, the common characteristics between the spaces and their ways of working." Hisae Ikenaga
