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.

Sono sinceramente sbalordito per l'incredibile quantità (almeno per me...) di persone che ha voluto commentare questa foto Eeeek!!! Ma soprattutto sono alquanto imbarazzato per la straordinaria bellezza, per la profondità e per la spontaneità delle parole che sono state usate per trasmettermi le vostre reazioni di fronte a questa immagine Sorry.
Quindi grazie, grazie di cuore a tutti.

Sono veramente molto contento che questa foto sia stata apprezzata con tanto entusiasmo e lo sono ancor di più trattandosi di uno dei primi lavori in bianco e nero. Come ho scritto anche di recente nel mio post di benvenuto alle mie gallerie, dopo diversi mesi passati a cercare di "carpire" i segreti dei maestri del B&W, ho deciso di avvalermi anche io di questa tecnica, per me assolutamente nuova, per cercare di estrarre dalle mie tutto il possibile potenziale emotivo. E da quello che ho letto, i risultati sono piuttosto incoraggianti..

Un grazie particolare, infine, ai miei "vecchi" amici, che come sempre non mancano mai di farmi sentire tutta la loro stima ed anche il loro affetto. Non vi cito per nome, ma sappiate che stima ed affetto sono assolutamente ricambiati.

Sergio

Say Max :-P?!?! I'm not so sure, actually... Perhaps it was still too early (I had to study it more :-|), or perhaps too late (I had to study first :-(), in any case now I can only try to improve.
Anyway thank you so much for your encouragement, Max.
