Hands of fate

Résumé du livre

During a four-month stay in the city of Munich in 2005, financed by a scholarship awarded by the Culture Relations Office (Kulturreferat), the Ghanaian artist Kofi Setordji created an impressive cycle of installations, sculptures and panel paintings, focused on Africa's post-colonial situation. The starting point of his reflection is the independence of Ghana in 1957: '50 years of independence - and where are we today?' Setordji holds up a mirror to the rulers: scenic installations which explore the theme not only of Africa's wars and economic crises, but also the abysses of the 'human condition'.
