about

"O Baba o Baba
Batung mayéle catché!
Tende o dyòm santi
Tende o dyòm mowniq
Terroir a o pama puqué.
Li kapab parlé eau
Li kapab parlé lavyann
To konné, mo va pélé!
Un nòt fwa prann devan
Un nòt fwa li vivan
Un nòt fwa komensé kolær!
Vizit Tonton Macoute
Tanbou lou trakasé mò.
Vizit paquet congo
Kèstyon trakasé mò.
To debou, Rujriviyè?"

(Extract from the XIXth century book
"Canticum canticorum Voodoois"
by Lutheran pastors Tallentin Van der Thomæs &
Felix Lucretius Pjesèk, page 35, chapter 9)

Tonton Macoute = a Haitian mythological phrase meaning "bogey man" (literally: "Uncle Bagman").

Paquet Congo = charms made of organic matter wrapped in cloth, intended to rouse the Loa.

about

Makunouchi Bento Timișoara, Romania

The Makunouchi Bento, or traditional Japanese lunchbox, is a highly lacquered wooden box divided into quadrants, each of which contains different delicacies. It is also one of the most familiar images of Japan's domestic environment. Reading the box as both an object and a metaphor, Felix Petrescu and Valentin Toma founded this cinematic / experimental / electroacoustic project back in late 2000. ... more
