HEILIGE SPRACHEN: DIE METAMORPHOSEN, MARTIN ABEGA

Description

Carine Biley and Ngalula Mafwata are pleased to present "Langages Sacrés: Les Métamorphoses," the solo exhibition of Cameroonian photographer and visual artist Martin ABEGA at Filafriques in Geneva. The exhibition, curated as part of a collaboration between Filafriques and MAYÌ ARTS and curated by Ngalula Mafwata, features a selection of photographic compositions and works that combine photography, textiles, embroidery, cowrie shells, and charcoal. "Langages Sacrés: Les Métamorphoses" explores the transformation processes experienced by both body and mind: testing, fragility, trace, transmission, and renewal, metaphorically embodied by the female figure. FROM IMAGE TO MATTER The universe of Martin ABEGA unites body, memory, and beauty. For ABEGA, photography is never an end in itself. It is a door, a sacred gate to other interconnected worlds of thought. From photography to textiles, from embroidery to charcoal – the image continues, disintegrates, merges, and takes on a different form. After internal metamorphoses come visual metamorphoses. "Heilige Sprachen: Die Metamorphosen" does not seek to impose a definitive interpretation of the sacred. Instead, the exhibition opens a space for contemplation and questioning. What remains of us after transformation? Note: This text was translated by machine translation software and not by a human translator. It may contain translation errors.
