In the primordial blackness of space, Amma, the Dogon creator god, molds the po pilu in Their hands and places within it all of the signs of creation from Their infinite womb. The po is the image of the creator, and it remains invisible and inaudible as it spins between Amma’s hands, scattering particles of matter and the essence of creation.
Amma Creates the World, Molding the Po
Opening Their eyes, Amma, the Dogon creator god, emerges from Their womb and creates the po seed first among Their creations. In the primordial blackness of space, Amma molds the po pilu in Their hands and places within it all of the signs of creation from Their infinite womb. The po is the image of the creator, and it remains invisible and inaudible as it spins between Amma’s hands, scattering particles of matter and the essence of creation.
Photographic Process
In the photographs of Infinite Essence and Cosmologies, Owunna leverages his training as an engineer to explore the nuances of darkness and light. He employs ultraviolet strobes, painted fluorescent backdrops, and carefully hand painted nude bodies of Black models that only glow under ultraviolet light. When he then photographs the models in total darkness, the shutter snaps, and for that fraction of a second, synchronized beams of ultraviolet light illuminate a glowing scene that reanimates tableaus of creation from the archive of African diasporic myth.
