BWINDI LIGHT MASKS – Richi Ferrero

RICHI FERRERO – Bwind Light Masks, 2010
Outdoor installation with true African masks, LED lights, acoustic system, Tuva bi-vocal songs.
Technical sponsor: ILTI Luce.

Forty identical masks, from an area ar the border between Congo and Uganda, as small stones are placed in random order, in the open area of the Archaeological Museum in Frankfurt. Daylight gives the essence of representation, a state of waiting. The ritual will come to life when the artificial light will chang,e in the dark, the colours of the masks, giving life to a dance strongly supported by the bi-vocal sounds of Tuva singers.
