Description :
Tupilaks! is a title that rings out like a joyful, mysterious cry. A mystery that comes from an immense country, Greenland, where tupilak sculpture is the main art form, almost unknown to everyone. The tupilak is a shamanic object with a malicious or joking appearance, intended to harm someone. It is often made up of several assembled figures, often grotesque, between animals and humans. In the past, when the shaman created the tupilak, he put a curse on it, and it had to be hidden with an enemy in order to bring him bad luck. While this act is annoying for the victim, it can also be dangerous for the aggressor, who can be turned against the tupilak...
