Description

Artistic coffins in Ghana serve as vibrant visual expressions of cultural beliefs surrounding death and identity. Buried in Style presents a focused photographic exploration of these intricately crafted funerary objects, highlighting their symbolic significance and diverse forms within Ghanaian funerary culture.

Regula Tschumi’s photography captures the elaborate designs and the cultural narratives embedded in each coffin, offering insight into how artistry and tradition intersect in the rituals of burial. The images convey a mood that balances respect, creativity, and the celebration of life beyond death.

Published by Kehrer Verlag in 2025, this 240-page volume provides a detailed visual documentation that supports a deeper understanding of Ghana’s funerary customs through the lens of craftsmanship and symbolism.
