What influence could your project have in the real world?
I want to break the stereotype of the past of primitivism. A large group of Africa's original ethnic work in the late 19th century had been an influx into Europe, lots of western artists use elements of their 'original art' concept, they started the way how they think of the primitivism, and put them into their works, in order to achieve with these 'borrowed art culture' and economic interests. Due to the influence of various distorted narratives and negative values, primitivism has been slowly exploited, discredited and subjected to various labels. But in fact, the art produced by the less civilized people was purer and more original, and its constant cultural invasions made this African culture less pure. Therefore I wanted to recapture their original culture, re-present the very beginning and I wanted to use the least, simplest colour combinations to show why they had been called utopian.
I think your link is broken here....
