Notes |
Deutsch: "Für die Yoruba sind Zwillinge (ibeji) zwar körperlich zwei, aber geistig eins. Wenn einer von ihnen stirbt, wird daher ein Denkmal (ère) wie dieses geschaffen, um die Seele des verstorbenen Zwillings zu lokalisieren. Dieses Bild wird oft dem lebenden Partner zum Spielen gegeben, um die geistige Verbindung zwischen den beiden aufrechtzuerhalten. Aufwändiger Körperschmuck spiegelt in der Regel die elterliche Liebe und Zuneigung wider." (Babatunde Lawal: Yoruba, Milan: 5 Continents 2012, S. 130)
English: “To the Yoruba, even though twins (ibeji) are physically two, they are spiritually one. Hence, if one of them should die, a memorial (ère) such as this one would be created to localize the soul of the departed twin. This image is often given to its living partner to play with so as to maintain the spiritual bond between the two. Elaborate body adornment usually reflects parental love and affection.” (Babatunde Lawal: Yoruba, Milan: 5 Continents 2012, p. 130) |

The estate of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, owned by the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation at the Brücke Museum, contains his collection of around 100 sculptures and objects with colonial backgrounds. The Brücke artist himself never travelled outside Europe and, to the best of current knowledge, bought these objects in the art trade and from private owners from the 1910s onwards. The collection includes ritual and everyday objects, alongside souvenirs for the Western market. The way they were perceived underwent changes: they came to be seen as objects of art and decoration. Little is known of their origins, the circumstances of their acquisition, or the historical and current importance of the objects. Most of them originate from Germany’s former colonies, thus referring directly to German Expressionists’ entanglements in the often unlawful appropriation of material culture in colonially occupied lands.
