Enjoy Poverty examine la valeur émotionnelle et économique de l'exportation la plus lucrative d'Afrique : la pauvreté filmée. À l'instar d'exportations africaines plus traditionnelles telles que l'or et le cacao, les fournisseurs de cette matière première n'en profitent pas, ou à peine. Dans ce contexte, l'artiste néerlandais Renzo Martens lance un programme émancipateur, au fin fond du Congo, qui vise à conscientiser les citoyens pauvres de leur capital principal : la pauvreté. Martens entreprend seul un périple épique de plusieurs années. Enjoy Poverty, qui conjugue le journalisme d'investigation, la satire et la conscience de soi à travers un regard profondément singulier, est ingénieusement provocateur, souvent ironique et désopilant, alors que le miroir qu'il nous tend est inévitablement attristant. Investigating the economic value of one of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s most lucrative exports (namely, poverty), Renzo Martens’ provocative film Episode III: Enjoy Poverty (2008) remains a landmark intervention into debates about contemporary art’s relationship to exploitative economies. The contributors to this publication explore the film’s legacy and how it relates to the politics of representation, uses of the documentary form, art criticism, the deployment of humanitarian aid, the impact of extractive forms of globalized capital, and the neoliberal politics of decolonization. The unconventional representation of acute immiseration throughout Enjoy Poverty generated far-from-resolved disputes about how deprivation is portrayed in Western mainstream media and global cultural institutions. Using a range of approaches, this volume reconsiders that portrayal and how the film’s reception led Martens to found a long-term program, the Institute for Human Activities.
