About the artwork
This work unfolds as a procession of psychedelic and tribal ornamentations, where faces and motifs transform ceaselessly. Set against music rooted in the Tuareg traditions of the Sahara, it conjures a “tribe of phantasmagoria” — a community bound together through perpetual metamorphosis. The title invokes “Phantasmagoria,” a term first used in late-18th-century Europe to describe magic lantern shows, where ghostly images appeared and dissolved in endless succession. Here, that spectral lineage is reimagined within the digital age, as a hallucinatory and ritual space.
