Samenvatting

Roy Villevoye has been visiting the Asmat people in South Papua since the early 1990s. Over time, he developed a very personal connection with their community, exploring the specific conditions of the region, its social structures, and cultural traditions, some of which were elusive to him. By consciously seeking out the unknown and uncertain, he also puts himself at risk. Through his work, he reflects on those experiences and encounters, translating them into sculptures, images, and video. The artist is aware of the problematic history of exhibiting people as objects; his sculptures are not representations of certain stereotypes, but portraits of equal individuals.
