CIMARRON - Charles Fréger

Cimarron is the third part of a photographic series begun in 2013 by Charles Fréger and dedicated to masquerades. From the southern United States to Brazil, the artist draws up an inventory of the masquerades practiced by the descendants of African slaves, celebrating in this way the memory of their peers and their singular cultures. Between masks, make-up, costumes, ornaments and accessories, African, indigenous and colonial cultures intermingle, caught up in the vertigo of a syncretic movement. Here, masquerade is more than ever a territory where one community is set against another, a space where the relationship with the oppressor is re-enacted and reinvented, either to mimic it, or to reverse it, always to subvert it.
