Black box of Africa (1998)Acrylic painting by Kellenberger Martin

Just as the black box of an airplane hides all the details of the flight and the functioning of the aircraft's instruments, so Africa still holds largely unexplored secrets of the development of human civilization.

For me, Africa is the black box of humanity.

In ancient tribal rituals, customs, songs, dances, mystical stories, religions, healing, food preparation, lifestyle, philosophy of thought and attitudes towards life, nature, the universe, we can find knowledge about how humanity could have developed.

The black box of Africa has something to offer us by looking into the past so that we do not spoil our future. Because often the simplicity and ease of the past are wiser than today's unnecessarily complicated present and future.
