Two films by Arthur Jafa that belong to the Pinault Collection are being screened for the first time ever in Paris, as part of the Corps et âmes exhibition.

Across various media, the work of Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker Arthur Jafa embraces and celebrates Black American culture for all its nobility. From Barack Obama to gospel, from Aretha Franklin to the Black Lives Matter protests, by way of Miles Davis and Arthur Jafa delves into mass media and pop culture to construct a collage and montage aesthetic that recalls his role as an image collector and which brings together multiple references. He majestically presents the icons of black culture, as he struggles with the complex history of the United States.
