艾多?蒙特羅：無形的戰爭

有著強大的法術，聖歌，擊鼓聲和外表極細微的傾斜，Ladja是起源於非洲的一種戰鬥舞蹈，基於隱形的神秘力量。在馬提尼克島的加勒比小島練習這種舞蹈，鮮活了奴隸制度下先人的記憶，留在戰士體內的錨。在島上度過了一個季節來學習成為Ladja戰士，攝影師埃杜?蒙特利從身體經驗上構造了這組照片的視覺性。既不是顯而易見的，也不是紀實的，這篇文章所談及的照片更像是幻影，而戰鬥也顯示了它的無形和神秘。有著少於一百的Ladja舞者和他們邊界以外的未知舞者，這種舞蹈儀式將通過這組原創作品呈現給世界。

With powerful spells, chants, drumming and imperceptibles coups at the look, Ladja is a combat dance with African origins, based on the mystical power of invisibility. Practiced in the small Caribbean island of Martinique, it keeps alive the ancestral memories of slavery, anchored in the body of its fighters. By spending a season on the island to become a Ladja fighter, the photographer Edu Monteiro builds the visuality of this work from this body experience. Neither obvious nor documentary, the photographs of this essay are apparitions, fight to show the invisible and its mysteries. With less than a hundred practitioners and unknown beyond their own borders, this ritual is now revealed to the world through the images of one initiated.
