Cenotaph for a People
Door Christophe Muylaert, 2025
20cm x 30cm
Cenotaph for a People is a sculptural installation confronting the violent colonial legacy of the Congo Free State under King Leopold II of Belgium. The work features a white 3D-printed bust of Leopold II, mounted on a base inscribed with the phrase Le roi du Congo ("The King of the Congo"). In front of the bust lies a pool of red clotted blood—thick, opaque, and darkly symbolic. The entire work is sealed beneath a layer of clear epoxy, preserving its pristine yet disturbing aesthetic and invoking the frozen silence of historical forgetting.
