CATHERIS MONDOMBO

VERSION MOBILE

Vogue de 1880 (2021)

CATHERIS MONDOMBO

"Notre histoire" series
90 x 140 cm
Mixed media on salvaged tarpaulin
Ébalé Collection


In the Notre histoire series dedicated to the colonisation of the Congo, at a first glance this work seems to be the odd one out because of its apparently trivial subject. It is nothing of the sort. It still depicts the demand for rubber (with the success of cycling in Europe in the early 20th century, demand for rubber shot up), and, implicitly, the physical abuse endured by the Congolese people.
