Eddy Kamuanga Ilunga developed his unique style after his mobile phone broke when he was 20. He became fascinated when he found out that the circuit board was made of minerals found in the Congo, so he decided to create a unique depiction of human flesh, clothed with microchips, thereby exposing the exploitation of man and minerals. He paints in acrylic and oil from photographs of scenes posed with live models, and his work explores the profound shifts in the political, economic and social identity of the DRC since colonialism.
