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.

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.
