This statuette inspired by Kongo Nkisi Nkondi is sculpted in thermosetting paste. thermosetting. The concept of nkisi occupies a central place in the thought system of the Kongo groups; it refers to the forces contained in certain types of objects, conglomerates of minerals, plants, animal parts, pieces of iron, brass or glass. This notion extends to wooden figures as soon as they include a load. Minkisi are tools created by a sculptor and activated by the nganga, the celebrant, to interact with the spiritual and physical worlds. The materials used, their method of fixing and the gestures of the sculptures reflect the power with which they are invested. Added to this are the words and actions of the celebrant who sets up the therapeutic process allowing an individual who comes to consult him to solve his problems. This practice increases tenfold the means of the officiant when it comes to intervening in cases affecting the social, economic or political balance. A nkisi nkondi is then used, a piece sometimes having a human size, often planted with nails and provided with one or more reliquaries.

Gérard Scordia is a multidisciplinary artist who practices photography, digital art, painting and sculpture. Since his earliest childhood he was rocked by the word photography… Being young, his father worked for a photographer and his passion transpired on him.

His father then brought him all his knowledge in terms of development and black and white printing. His favorite places were the Biron flea market in Saint-Ouen and the Père Lachaise cemetery. Their atmospheres are impregnated with a strange, somewhat "mystical" feeling.

During the 80s he discovered the first camcorders and he was immediately seduced by their possibilities. This curiosity pushed him to carry out training (Shooting, editing in 1992) to work on professional equipment of the time (Beta sp). He then made a few films for training, safety and technology in the nuclear field.

Now that he has been retired since 2009, he has gone digital for both shooting and post production. Addressing particularly the themes of abstraction and views of the Perpignan region and Catalan traditions, his work is distinguished by a new light.

Gérard Scordia lives and works in Perpignan. His photos have been awarded twice in local competitions and he has also exhibited twice at the Off de Perpignan. He resumed painting in 2018 after a first experience in oil in the 80s. acrylic with a mixed brush and airbrush technique. And then from time to time he does a bit of sculpture to intrigue and frighten his relatives (Nkisi and Tsantsa).
