The Faces Collection is the second part of the project Feitiço. It is a fiction that retraces the story of a collection of miniature masks from Congo, belonging to a private collector in Louvain-la-Neuve. Like an archaeologist, the traces left by these objects allow me to reconstruct their histories, raising questions related to the theft of artifacts, to the fetishization of masks, and the sacralizing museum displays attributed to them.
