Richi Ferrero created this outdoor installation as part of Luminale 2010, which showed in Frankfurt at the Archeological Museum, using authentic African masks, LED lights and an acoustic system.

Forty identical masks, from an area at the border between Congo and Uganda, as small stones are placed in random order, in the open area of the Archaeological Museum in Frankfurt. Daylight gives the essence of representation, a state of waiting. The ritual will come to life when the artificial light will change in the dark, the colours of the masks, giving life to a dance strongly supported by the bi-vocal sounds of Tuva singers.
