DJO
By Laura Henno – 2018
13:00
In the Highlands of Mayotte, a space of secrecy, magic, and escape, men and dogs share a filial, almost fusion-like bond, a companionship between species that share the same territory of transformation and autonomy. Smogi has a special relationship with dogs, but also with the power of the elements, nature, and the mischievous spirits that inhabit it (the djinns). Djo encounters different belief systems in a wild syncretism, where the call to Muslim prayer also marks the moment of reunion with the animist and impure forces of the forest.
