Les figurines des Kulango se propose de faire connaître les oeuvres miniatures créées par les Kulango, au nord-est de la Côte d’Ivoire, jadis les vassaux des deux royaumes que le pays a comptés (Bouna et Gyaman). Peu connu, leur art, étonnamment varié, intrigue et déconcerte.
Les figurines des Kulango is designed to introduce various miniature works created by the Kulango in northeastern Côte d’Ivoire, who were formerly vassals of the two kingdoms that inhabited the country (Bouna and Gyaman). Their extraordinarily varied art, which can be both intriguing and disconcerting, is relatively unknown.
The collection includes over 100 figurines, none of which is over 10 cm tall: pendants, amulets, fortune tellers’ statuettes or weights for gold. Introduced into our world through the metamorphosis of photography, transfigured by lighting and framing effects, these resurrected works have been revitalised, like apparitions from another world.
