L'art étonnamment varié des Kulango, peuple du nord-est de la Côte d'Ivoire, intrigue et déconcerte. Dans leurs créations en métal surtout, d'une saisissante liberté d'expression, les corps semblent réinventer le mouvement en adoptant parfois une gestuelle presque chorégraphique, une grâce aérienne, des lignes sinueuses. Dans cet ouvrage, plus de 100 figurines ressurgissent, telles des apparitions d'un autre monde. Qui sont ces êtres énigmatiques dont les yeux globuleux scrutent l'invisible ?

The extraordinarily varied art of the Kulango, in the north-eastern Ivory Coast, can be both intriguing and disconcerting. Their metal sculptures in particular display a strikingly free expressiveness. Doing away with immobile remoteness, bodies seem to reinvent movement, sometimes adopting almost choreographic gestures, an airy grace, sinuous lines. In this book, more than 100 figurines have been revitalized, like apparitions from another world. Who are these enigmatic beings whose bulging eyes peer at the invisible ?
