Le principe de l’exposition Yanomami, l’esprit de la forêt, organisée par la Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain en 2003, était de provoquer une rencontre entre les chamans du village yanomami de Watoriki, en Amazonie brésilienne, et 5 artistes internationaux. Ces derniers ont tour à tour été accueillis au sein de cette communauté, avant de mettre leurs univers créatifs à l’épreuve des images chamaniques, sans intention d’illustration ni de traduction, mais plutôt à travers le déploiement d’un espace d’« association libre ».Les photographies d’archives, cartes géographiques et œuvres contemporaines réunies dans le catalogue de l’exposition racontent l’expérience unique de ces artistes et l’histoire récente du peuple yanomami. De secrètes correspondances entre art contemporain et pensée mythique affirment le pouvoir de l’image rêvée, pensée ou racontée. (Fondation Cartier)

The Yanoama are one of the most numerous remaining aboriginal populations of the South American tropical forests, and their large territory constitutes a significant culture region. Although other scholars (anthropologists, geneticists, linguists) have studied this contemporary "neolithic" population, this is the first geographic study of the Yanoama. It is also the only book to focus on the Yanoama highland core area—the Parima massif—and it is the first study to analyze Yanoama horticulture as an integral part of their ecosystem. The author is concerned principally with the spatial dimension as developed in Yanoama culture, with the spatial patterns of functioning systems, and with Yanoama ecology in this highland habitat. The natural environment is viewed, not as a cultural determinant, but as part of the total ecosystem. Livelihood activities constitute a major organizing theme and, among these, gardening receives the most attention. Frequently classified as a nomadic hunter-gatherer group, the Yanoama are found to have a deep-seated horticultural tradition, and many new data on this tradition are presented. As this study reveals, the Yanoama have created and maintained a cultural landscape that bears their distinctive stamp.
