TONKÖMA
In her series Tonköma was inspired by Nyamou, masquerade and the tradition of fetish in West African ceremonial structures.
Leuba constructs a visual imaginary in a rooftop environment by confronting the past - traditional and modern - the plasticity.
By re-contextualizing African aesthetic elements for the camera, Leuba questions their framework for Occidental taste, shedding light on her personal experiences of her multi-cultural heritage and influences.
