Sin dalla notte dei tempi, la scarificazione - l'incisione dei segni sul tuo corpo - è una pratica dolorosa ancora oggi ritualizzata in molte terre africane. Presso le popolazioni Taneka, nelle montagne Atakora del Benin dove questa immagine è stata scattata, questa pratica simboleggia l'appartenenza ad un particolare gruppo etnico. Quando sei nato in un gruppo etnico, devi "indossare" il marchio di questo gruppo sul tuo corpo, è necessario essere integrato nella tribù. Quindi tutti i bambini, quando raggiungono due o tre anni, vengono tagliati in faccia con una serie intricata di linee utilizzando uno strumento di ferro. Gli anziani dicono che un bambino senza questi segni non è "umano" e se non ricevono i tagli, o se il bambino muore prima che sia in grado di ricevere i loro segni tribali, non possono essere sepolti nel cimitero del villaggio.

A photo-document of rare beauty and intensity; The caption helps to contextualize and better understand what in our culture is only a ritual a bit barbaric and primitive, but that represents the identity of a people. Identities that we have lost instead.
Sincere Congratulations,
Alberto.
