This study of a forgotten statue provides a deconstruction of cinematic illusion and critically analyses Western perspectives. In 1884, Sakala was the first African boy to visit Belgium. He immediately learned French and donned Western clothes. There is a monument to him: as a naked child in a loincloth.
