Photo gallery - A century of change: 1905-2001 This section presents fifteen series of comparative photographs of particular motifs or parts of the rock wall at Songo taken during the last century. The first set comprises the southern part of the rock wall for which photographs from the early 20th century are available, allowing for change to be followed over the whole of the past century. Since the northern part of the site was only painted later in the 20th century, change in this part of the rock wall is only visible in more recent photographs. The same is true for the upper part of the wall, which is presented in the third section. Finally, series of photographs for three areas of the rock wall are shown that provide the most dramatic illustration for the various kinds of change at Kondi Pegue: the adding of new motifs, the fading of others, the change of form and detail. This change can be better understood in a temporal context through the dates of the photographs - specific motifs are added at particular times, stylistic choices change, as do painting techniques. | |
