MIDNIGHT AT THE CROSSROADS (Special Edition) - Cristina de Middel and Bruno Morais
Photographers Cristina De Middel and Bruno Morais spent 3 years following Esù's path and building a document that comes as a reaction to the advance of evangelical churches across Africa and South America, which calls into question the survival of an endangered cultural heritage and makes a substantial contribution to the much-needed unofficial version of history. Midnight at the Crossroads documents and records these transformations and adaptations from its origins in Benin to Cuba, Brazil and Haiti. Esù begins as a totem in Benin, becomes a child in Cuba, then a handsome young man in Brazil and finally an old man in Haiti, but it's always a confused spirit that challenges your certainties and makes you doubt along the way.
