The art of voodoo at the Fondation Cartier in Paris

Forget your poor rag dolls, stuck with an embarrassing number of pins, at the first sign of marital betrayal. Voodoo is a religion seriously, and also an art. He was convinced Jacques Kerchache, an expert on primitive art from the end of the 60 he shot Black Africa, and has collected hundreds of items, figurines, shells, ceramics.

Ten years after his death, the Fondation Cartier in Paris exposes this "strange" collection, which, surprisingly, has nothing macabre. Indeed. Perhaps it is the dream location (the Crystal Palace by Jean Nouvel) or for the preparation of Enzo Mari, but the exhibition highlights the beauty of these creations.

What explains the curator, not born to do evil: "A woman asks a magician to bring down a man at his feet. What fault is it if it has to get the result, the rivals are somehow deleted?
