    feast performance

    I carved a replica of a central African Nkisi figure, I saw in an exhibition at the Muse’ Dapper in Paris France. I attempted to place/ use the Nkisi in its original context, or my approximation thereof. During this event I was interested in placing myself nearer to the intended function of my creation of the work (nkisi), activating the figure, performing a tap dance, sword dance, speaking and cooking.
