The Divine Comedy: Heaven, Hell, Purgatory revisited by Contemporary African Artists

The Divine Comedy Heaven, Purgatory and Hell Revisited by Contemporary African Artists

Paradise by Pélagie Gbaguidi "The Divine Comedy: Heaven, Hell, Purgatory revisited by Contemporary African Artists" Curator simon Njami Video/Painting Dansleventreduserpentdanhomê 2013 Realisation Pélagie Gbaguidi Cameraman Guillaume Vandenberghe Assistante Camera Virginie Surdey Machinist Dominique Degand Mounting Tessa Namias. The video is based on the transposition of a bigger canvas that the artist realized in her studio. The world that emerges from the canvas is also a world upside down where the destiny of Africa is reinvented through the roots that generate historical traumas in the recasting of religions and in the outline of an illuminated march. The forms of oppression are of a solemn nature, the protagonists of the genocides carry the bodies. The time freed from injustices creates a suspended space where the creatures leave for the final exile.
