RUNTIME

Synopsis

"Mémoire" by artist Sammy Baloji captures politicians, governors, and workers in the ruins of DRC's former economic hub. Baloji's photography and video blend past and present, delving into the colonial history, postcolonial decline, and modern exploitation of the DRC's mining region. His work reveals cultural tensions through architecture and the human body as symbols of power and history.
