Art & Rite. The power of objects

Art & Rite reveals the beauty and strangeness of these objects which bear witness to the ritual and artistic creativity of human beings. Bringing different cultures into conversation, these objects tell the story of the ritual practices of humanity. The publication also interrogates the loss of meaning brought about by "embalming" in a museum and observes a new process of ritualization or re-sacralization through their re-contextualization in a museum environment.
