Presented as part of a collaboration between Filafriques and MAYÌ ARTS, under the curatorship of Ngalula Mafwata, the exhibition brings together a selection of photographic compositions and works combining photography, textile, embroidery, cowrie shells and charcoal. Sacred Languages: The Metamorphoses explores the processes of transformation that traverse both body and spirit: hardship, fragility, trace, transmission and regeneration, metaphorically embodied through the feminine figure. FROM IMAGE TO MATTER Martin ABEGA's universe brings together body, memory and beauty. For ABEGA, photography is never an end in itself. It is a door, a sacred portal to other interconnected territories of thought. From photography to textile, from embroidery to charcoal, the image extends, fragments, absorbs and takes on new form. To inner metamorphoses correspond visual metamorphoses. Sacred Languages: The Metamorphoses does not seek to impose a definitive interpretation of the sacred. Rather, the exhibition opens a space for contemplation and questioning. What remains of us after transformation?
