Angelo Turconi Author

Italo-Belgian photographer Angelo Turconi (1938) has spent fifty years roaming the Democratic Republic of Congo and has published many books on the country, such as Congo on the Road, The Lunda, etc. His photographs capture the power of ancestral ceremonies and the joy of popular celebrations, presided over by the traditional chiefs who still occupy a prestigious position. They reveal the social structure of this central African community by observing the work of artisans, farmers, conveyors of goods and market traders. More than just a witness, Angelo Turconi calls himself an emissary of memory.
