Exhibition "Return to the Land of Souls" by Jordi Esteva

Photographic exhibition  "Return to the Land of Souls" by Jordi Esteva will be presented in Out In The Sticks Art Gallery until November 30th.

Jordi Esteva is an artist-photographer from Spain. He lives in a small village near Barcelona. His photographs picture the ancient ceremonies and rich spiritual life of the people of Ivory Coast (Africa).

This traditional culture is strongly endangered by a modern life-style, globalization and the influence of white people, including missioners of various Christian churches. It may cease to exist very soon. Jordi documented it in his photographic project and in the documentary movie, which we presented at the opening, also titled "Return to the Land of Souls". It's a great testimony of a very special cultural formation. We may like it or dislike it or not care about, but it's there, it may be not there anymore in just few years, and it's worth having a look at.

Jordi Esteva masterfully evokes the spirit and the atmosphere of the ceremonies he photographs. His minimalistic, black and white photographs don't intrude into that exotic world, like colourful illustrations for the glossy magazines would do. They sneak into it quietly and become part of its mysterious magic

Please note that the Gallery is open by chance or by appointment.
