Leopold's Ghost is an ensemble of 35 masks bearing a slight or strong resemblance to Leopold II. Gathered over eight years, the masks are made by local sculptors and craftsmen in the DR Congo, evoking, with dark humour, the enduring presence of Leopold II in Congolese culture. Some masks are old and adapted, some are made anew by contemporary Congolese artists (Muhindo Luvatsungana Jean-Charles, Paulvi Ngimbi, Kaluhitukako Lubeni Jusquin, Muhemeri Kataliko Emmanuel, Zingwa Beni, Kisha Bongo, Théophile Nzonza Ndombasi, Ka Bamba Luyembwe), investigating how the memory of the sovereign who never visited the country he ruled, is changing but also enduring. Presented according to the typology of a private collection, the installation blurs the boundaries between ethnographic artefact, contemporary artwork and commodity, prompting viewers to question the structures of authority that continue to shape the circulation and interpretation of cultural objects. Rather than offering a singular account of colonial history, Leopold's Ghost reflects on its lasting afterlives, asking not only what is displayed, but who has the authority to represent, preserve and narrate the past.
