Tales from the Source

Léonard Pongo

Tales from the Source offers a new gaze on the landscapes of the Democratic Republic of Congo to translate a sense of its unfathomable power, diversity and knowledge. The scenery is presented as a character acting as a living entity and inhabited by the symbolism of Congolese traditions. The visual approach borrows techniques from multispectral imaging, resulting in an otherworldly experience with surreal lights and colour. Combined with an original musical composition, we enter into a sensory dialogue with the landscape, an intelligent, ageless being in constant transformation that challenges our perception.
