Before They Pass Away: Les dernières Ethnies- Avant qu'elles ne disparaissent (E/ F/ G)

Product Information

It’s a fantasy that to me says more about the people who are consumers of these images than the people who are the ostensible subjects. De stammen worden kort voorgesteld, maar ik had graag nog wat meer geweten over wat er op de foto te zien is: welke ceremonie zijn ze aan het doen, wat is de betekenis van al hun opsmuk, waarom staan Afrikaanse stammen daar zo trots te pronken met zwaar geschut? He could even add more text about his journey to get there, interviews or dialogs with some of the people, put a name to them, etc. Taking inspiration from a variety of design periods to construct the pattern, with classic floral elements from orchids, peony’s and delphiniums (a flower that represents the transcendence of time and space - which in my opinion a good cup of tea takes us to! Nun gibt es jedoch eine sogenannte „kleine Ausgabe“ (die weder klein noch leicht ist ;-)) für deutlich weniger Geld, da habe ich natürlich zugeschlagen.

This will be a testament for future generations of how many of these people are living and dressing today before they are assimilated into the modern society and dressing in Western clothing, after giving up their traditional way of life and nomadic existence. The collection makes a stylish statement to your interior, daring you to be different and following your own sun. Ihre Mitglieder leben im Einklang mit der Natur, was in unserem modernen Zeitalter zur Seltenheit geworden ist.Ehrlich gesagt kauf ich mir das Buch vermutlich mal irgendwann, wenn ich mal so viel Geld übrig habe. Lots of wonderful photos of the Dani people which are probably the most photographed in that country.

Der Preis ist bei dem ganzen Aufwand sicherlich gerechtfertigt, aber es ist und bleibt eine stolze Summe (stolz wie die Personen auf den Portraits).

The photographer talks about how much trust went into creating this collection, including an amusing story about drinking in Siberia and how reindeers love human urine, resulting in a tent collapse in the middle of the night in subzero temperatures.
