Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Celebrate death as we celebrate life: This is the credo of the funeral culture of the Ghanaian ethnic group Ga-Adangme, where creative coffins in the shape of animals, vehicles, etc. are used to represent the preferences, professions, or dreams of the deceased. In addition, perfectly choreographed dances transform funerals into colourful and energetic celebrations. For more than twenty years, Regula Tschumi, who holds a doctorate in ethnology, has researched and photographed various aspects of the Ghanaian funeral cult and its evolution. Her astonishing, vibrantly colourful images depict Christian and traditional funeral ceremonies, bizarre installations, and various forms of laying out the deceased, as well as spectacular trends in figural coffin design over the past two decades. Tschumi also accompanied and photographed the undertaker and pallbearer Benjamin Aidoo (known as 'Ghana's Coffin Dancer'), who has become world famous through social media, and his dancers in their extraordinary work.

Théière, poulet, chaussure américaine : les formes de cercueils extraordinaires et la culture d?adieu du Ghana. Célébrer la mort comme on célèbre la vie : tel est le credo de la culture funéraire du groupe ethnique ghanéen Ga-Adangme, où des cercueils créatifs en forme d?animaux, de véhicules, etc., sont utilisés pour représenter les préférences ou les rêves du défunt. De plus, des danses parfaitement chorégraphiées transforment les funérailles en célébrations colorées et énergiques. Depuis plus de vingt ans, Regula Tschumi, titulaire d?un doctorat en ethnologie, étudie et photographie le culte funéraire ghanéen. Ses images étonnantes et aux couleurs vibrantes représentent des cérémonies funéraires chré- tiennes et traditionnelles, des installations bizarres et diverses formes de présentation des défunts, ainsi que les tendances spectaculaires en matière de conception de cercueils figuratifs au cours des deux dernières décennies. Tschumi a également accompagné et photographié l?entrepreneur de pompes funèbres et le porteur de cercueil Benjamin Aidoo (connu sous le nom de « Danseur de cercueil du Ghana »), devenu mondialement célèbre grâce aux médias sociaux. Dans le sud du Ghana, une attention particulière est accordée aux enterrements, notamment chez les Ga. Pour ce groupe ethnique, les funérailles comptent parmi les rites de passage sociaux et spirituels les plus importants. Les cérémonies, qui durent souvent plusieurs jours, sont de grands événements publics conçus non seulement pour honorer les morts, mais aussi pour maintenir la réputation d?une famille et assurer la bonne volonté des futurs ancêtres. Les familles visent à impressionner et à divertir les invités : des salles d?exposition somptueuses, des cercueils uniques et des présentations spectaculaires jouent tous un rôle. Cet accent culturel mis sur le spectacle a stimulé l?innovation en matière de conception de cercueils, de performances et de décor funéraire, faisant des funérailles ghanéennes un mélange unique de rituel, d?art et de fierté communautaire. Le monde de l?art international a d?abord remarqué les cercueils figuratifs du Ghana lors de l?exposition Magiciens de la terre au Centre Pompidou à Paris en 1989. Depuis lors, ces cercueils sculpturaux, initialement fabriqués par les artistes Ga Ataa Oko Addo et Kane Kwei, sont devenus une forme d?art dynamique, adoptée dans tout le Ghana et admirée dans le monde entier. « Enterrement avec style » présente non seulement la documentation vivante de Regula Tschumi sur ces pratiques funéraires uniques, mais retrace également leur transformation à travers les générations, notamment le travail de l?artiste célèbre Paa Joe et de ses apprentis. …
