Characters in Search of a Spirit

Summoned to Africa from somewhere beyond reality, three artists embark on an animist odyssey. Overwhelmed, without a guide, they stumble around Dakar. Fellini is nostalgic for the port town he visited in his youth. Pasolini is frantic to capture on film the incomplete metropolis' nature, and to fraternize with her residents. Moravia has no expectations, what he sees will open up a new aspect of his work. Images and stories shift form and place against a backdrop of unfinished skyscrapers and a soundtrack of robotized muezzin voices.

 

This book originated from a trip taken by the authors, with photos of Dakar in color and b/w, and sculptures inspired by the forms of the city's buildings. This is the first in a series about places physical (geographical locations), and not.
