Choucoune

Felisha Carénage’s installation is mounted across the façades of KW’s front house and Kunst Raum Mitte, haunting–Jumbie-ing–Berlin Mitte’s buildings and streets. Marigold-dusted latex cutouts reference various cultures of mourning, the “living death” of intimate-partner terrorism, and independence in postcolonial womanhood as shaped by the death of Princess Diana – an event that for many Caribbean women signaled how freedom under empire, even in empire's alleged aftermath, was deadly. Strung-up sneakers mark the death of a young person and, in this work, also signal the appearance of a Moko Jumbie.
