Gli "uomini di fango" della tribù Asaro sono noti per le loro maschere tradizionali create con fango, diventate simbolo della cultura della Papua Nuova Guinea. Vivono vicino al villaggio di Goroka, nella provincia degli Altopiani Orientali. Le loro origini sono avvolte nel mistero e tramandate attraverso storie orali che narrano delle circostanze in cui la tribù avrebbe iniziato a utilizzare queste maschere. Le maschere sono fatte con una miscela di fango e pigmenti naturali, modellate su pietre riscaldate e immerse in acqua di cascata. Questo processo crea una pasta plasmata per formare maschere con caratteristiche distinte, come orecchie lunghe o corte, sopracciglia collegate alle orecchie e bocche orientate lateralmente. Questi dettagli sono importanti nella rappresentazione degli spiriti o degli antenati nelle cerimonie e celebrazioni culturali della tribù Asaro. Non solo elementi di identità culturale, le maschere svolgono un ruolo significativo nelle pratiche rituali e nelle rappresentazioni teatrali dei miti e delle leggende della tribù. Grazie alla loro unicità e bellezza artistica, sono diventate un'importante attrazione per i visitatori desiderosi di conoscere e apprezzare la ricca tradizione culturale della Papua Nuova Guinea.

A very remarkable image, not only for the subject but also for the formal characteristics. Congratulations

Dearest (so to speak) I'm sorry for you that you didn't understand the question.

Here I am in response to those who asked for the parameters used. It's very trivially a mistake, I arrived when it was dark (it was dawn) and I started shooting, then I didn't update the camera following the growing light. Then using aperture priority I tend to shoot with various apertures with constant iso, so sometimes shots with open apertures tend to have high shutter speeds.
When I started I was much more careful, especially at high isos because the image quality collapsed, while today I don't give it much importance anymore, perhaps wrongly.
I don't know if everything is clear

"In more than 30 years of photography, I've never shot with automatic ISO!" ... There are photographers who take care of the camera settings maniacally before shooting, others focus on the scene. The former generally produce uninteresting images. ;-)
