Klof, Village of Spirits

by Kevin Osepa

‘With this project, I want to investigate how a place can have such a turbulent history to the point that it starts to lead its own life.’
‘Especially I want to find out how a generation deals with this history by always connecting new stories to the past thus constantly shaping its significance.’
‘The stories range from the magical aspects of experiencing dark forces, to protecting oneself with rituals, to the harsh reality of fatal car accidents.’

– Kevin Osepa
