Masked costumes from the Republic of Bénin and from Kinshasa (DR Congo) are the focus of two portrait series by French photographer Stéphan Gladieu (*1969). The two series are being shown together in a special exhibition at Museum Fünf Kontinente (Museum Five Continents). The focus of the show is on the central importance of mask performances in African contexts. They link past and present and address personal as well as societal challenges.
