THE STORY, IN BRIEF
ART AFRICA’s March 2020 interview by Sean O’Toole revisited Carsten Höller’s Fara Fara and its December 2019 screening in Kinshasa. Höller discussed working with Congolese rumba performers and using deliberately altered subtitles to construct an artwork rather than a straightforward documentary. The exchange records tensions between musical context, artistic invention and the reception of a film before an audience familiar with its language and protagonists.
