FEITIÇO

Project realized as part of the residency at the Carrefour des Arts Foundation – Brussels, 2024

– 102 red earthenware sculptures
– video 10’ / ov: Dgéba / sub: French / Lucine Letassay: image and editing

Feitiço is a fiction that retraces the history of a collection of 102 miniature masks from the Congo, belonging to a private collector in Louvain-la-Neuve. Like an archaeologist, the imprint of these objects allows me to trace their stories while raising questions related to the theft of objects, the fetishization of masks, and the sacralizing museum displays attributed to them.
