LA PEAU DU CÔLON /
A TRANS-ARCHITECTURE

Côlon #1 (2024)





Le Peau du Colon (Eng. The Skin of the Colonist) by Roland Gunst/John K. Cobra is the silicone mould used to create the Côlon #2_MA (2022) sculpture. This sculpture was exhibited at my solo exhibition, 'Trans-Architecture: Performing Power Figures at the Museum of Art in Oostende, Belgium, in 2023.
Le Peau du Colon is a sculpture that envelops Côlon #2_MA (2022) and functions as a womb to nurture it. It is the negative sculpture, the inverted reality of Côlon #2_MA.
According to traditional Congolese beliefs, the realm of the spirits is upside down: an inverted reality and a negative realm that is inseparable from the positive reality. The two realities can only exist due to each other's existence and their interaction. By activating this NFT, the power of The Skin of the Colonist is deployed in the parallel Web3 realm to bring both realities into being.
The artworks haven't yet been exhibited.
