EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Pascal Deloche takes us on a visual journey to the Akodessewa fetish market in Lomé, Togo. The image showcases an array of horse tails hanging outdoors, amidst the vibrant atmosphere of this unique African marketplace. As we delve into the photograph's details, we are transported into a world where ancient traditions and beliefs intertwine with modern life. The Akodessewa fetish market is renowned for its esoteric offerings and serves as a hub for practitioners of animism and voodoo. Here, visitors can find various items used in traditional rituals or ceremonies that hold deep cultural significance. Amongst these artifacts are the striking horse tails displayed prominently in the picture. These horse tails symbolize power and strength within African folklore, often associated with spiritual protection or guidance. Their presence at Akodessewa signifies their importance in local practices rooted in animistic belief systems. Deloche's composition beautifully captures not only the physicality of these horse tails but also hints at the mystical aura surrounding them. The juxtaposition between nature's creation and human intervention creates an intriguing dialogue about humanity's connection to animals and spirituality. Through this powerful image, we gain insight into Togo's rich cultural heritage while being reminded of our collective fascination with mysticism across different societies worldwide. Pascal Deloche has masterfully frozen a moment that invites contemplation on Africa's diverse religious practices and their enduring relevance today.
