OPENING RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST IN ATTENDANCE
Carine Biley and Ngalula Mafwata are delighted to present *Sacred Languages: Metamorphoses*, a solo exhibition by the Cameroonian photographer and visual artist Martin ABEGA at Filafriques in Geneva. Presented as part of a collaboration between Filafriques and MAYÌ ARTS, and curated by Ngalula Mafwata, the exhibition brings together a selection of photographic compositions and works combining photography, textiles, embroidery, cowrie shells and charcoal. ‘Sacred Languages: Metamorphoses’ explores the processes of transformation that affect both body and mind: trial, fragility, trace, transmission and regeneration, metaphorically embodied through the female figure.
FROM IMAGE TO MATTER
Martin ABEGA’s world brings together the body, memory and beauty. For ABEGA, photography is never an end in itself. It is a door, a sacred gateway to other interconnected realms of thought. From photography to textiles, from embroidery to charcoal, the image extends, fragments, dissolves and takes on a new form. These inner metamorphoses are then mirrored by visual metamorphoses. Sacred Languages: Metamorphoses does not seek to impose a definitive interpretation of the sacred. Rather, the exhibition opens up a space for contemplation and questioning.
What remains of us after the transformation?
