Abakuá - 2006 wood, projection, video 188 x 106 cm / 74 x 41 3/4 in 308 x 256 cm / 121 1/4 x 100 3/4 in 4 min 31 Exhibition view: Inaugural exhibiton, Johann König, Berlin, 2006. In a narrow alleyway, three musicians are playing the Cuban Rumba polyrhythm ‚Abakua'. A dancer joins them and dances so close in front of the camera that he loses his role as a protagonist to the character featured on his t-shirt. The tension between folklore, global pop culture and the individuality of the dancer makes the dance into a parody of the modern, contemporary world.
