Description

Tangle of ropes, countless small heap, accumulation of disparate elements that sublimate any figurative representation, are the African divination objects presented in this book. These figures informs, often made of perishable materials and uncontrollable, can sometimes be perceived as unattractive and strange. They evoke an aesthetic of horror that causes chaos, fear associated with the world of disorder. This catalog invites watching otherwise, for much more familiar than we might suppose at first, they do not speak of anything but life and countless son of existence, that continue to build and discard. So it will not matter to make any tribute to a mysterious and fetish Africa, but to honor human creativity and variety of forms they take and knows that surprise us again and again.
