After <\/strong>Wilder Mann <\/strong><\/em>in 2017 and <\/strong>Cimarron <\/strong><\/em>in 2019, Charles Fr\u00e9ger returns with a new series of photos, and his third exhibition at Ch\u00e2teau des ducs de Bretagne.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his photo project, AAM AASTHA<\/em>, Charles Fr\u00e9ger continues to research masquerade rituals around the world \u2013 a subject at the heart of several of his series: Wilder Mann<\/em> (since 2010), Yokainoshima<\/em> (2013-2015), and Cimarron<\/em> (2014-2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially interested in the Ramayana<\/em> (an ancient epic and founding text of Hinduism containing mythological and cosmogonic tales) and its different interpretations in Asian cultures, Fr\u00e9ger began a series of trips to India in 2019, a country in which he had already completed the projects Sikh Regiment of India <\/em>(2010), Painted Elephants<\/em> (2013) and School Chalo<\/em> (2016).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He began his research in Southern India (Karnakata, Kerala, Tamil Nadu), exploring often spectacular incarnations of deities.
These mostly Hindu sacred dances and theatrical performances (Theyam, Katakali, Mudiyetu, Terukutu…) are practiced in temples, theatres, and street festivals. Incarnating a god obeys strict social codes, and members of the lowest castes are often assigned these roles. Because interpretations vary from one region to the next (depending on the state and its population), the photographer has zigzagged across over 20 states in search of a great diversity of avatars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition will offer a sneak preview of nearly 90 of his unpublished photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
