Technological advancement of this era has spurred a fascination with archaic magical powers. Witness the revival of gothic imagination in graphic art and fascination with zombies and aliens in popular cinema. Historical Shamanism has survived in isolated communities, but Dashi Namdakov has worked with shamanic themes drawn from his native Buryat nomadic roots, and his sculptural forms give shape to the powers lying beyond humanity and the reach of civilisation.
