A photographic re-enactment of one of the horrors of slavery – the shackle. The devices depicted are based on historical documentation of these savage devices used to subdue, prevent escape and punish. Shot in Benin these contemporary portraits are meant to conjure the not so distant past, and to sit uneasily with us. © Fabrice Monteiro.

My first engagement with the topic actually came earlier than Marrons; slavery is part of my own history. What lead you to develop these tableaus? My aim for this project was to confront human beings. How did you choose Benin as the site for this project? Ouidah was a natural choice. About
