Hugues Hountondji

Adéagbo has worked since 1995 with various sculptors in Benin who realize relief panels and sculptures according to his precise instructions. The photos he brings from research trips are transformed into wood during months of preparation. He began to work with Hugues Hountondji in 2006 who until now realizes the site-specific sculptures for the installations.
