Ndokette Session

Ndokette Session is a hybrid project mixing performance, fashion and photography.
With a group of three artists, we want to represent people, in a certain geographical area at a precise moment in the course of the time, getting through stages of life.
We’re recalling the importance rhythm brought by those rituals and important events as a mean of living our lives. We use the concept of rituals in order to reinforce the necessity of conscious experience.
Thus, this visual experience is a personal introspective which aims to lead to a general introspective.
