Thank you, it is a rite of traditional medicine, the girl believed to be sick was subjected to this ritual

Yes, but is the hallucinated and perhaps terrified gaze fiction or reality?
And, if it is reality, what is it due to? That it is a ritual does not tell us much.
Does the girl participate voluntarily and know what happens?

The accentuation of gestures and blatant attitudes remind me of certain voodoo rituals in Benin.
There are now shows for tourists.
Here I believe maybe the same 8-)
Nice shot with the heads in strategic position ;-)

Thank you all, in this case the traditional medicine ritual was absolutely authentic, also because this village was a last-second change and the ritual was already underway

Roberto Parmiggiani, I would kindly ask you to answer my simple questions:
1) Was the girl's gaze reality or fiction as it would be in our theater?
2) If reality, what caused that hallucinated / terrified look?
3) Was the girl aware and consenting?
Thank you very much
Daniele

Hard to say but it could be a sort of autosuggestion, a trance.

Roberto thank you, but you will have seen what they did to her ...
Your description: "the girl deemed to be sick has been subjected to" gives rise to the obvious suspicion that you considered her non-consenting and unconscious.
Also, your photo shows her as if she was forcibly held, was she? Have you no doubts?
Thanks again
Daniele

La reticenza dell'autore mi dispiace molto.

Non giudico la persona, ma il comportamento si: secondo me, fotografare una scena che appare come violenza su una giovane donna nuda, senza sapere se è finzione o realtà e se è consenziente oppure no, è una cosa assolutamente condannabile.
Senza scomodare l'etica, la morale e la civiltà, anche solo rispetto allo specifico fotografico, giudicare un'immagine per la sua estetica, senza nessuna considerazione del contenuto, mi pare un'offesa alla fotografia, una forma patologica di attenzione al dito scordandosi della luna.

Aiutatemi a capire per favore, sicuramente mi sfugga qualcosa, alle 63 persone che hanno cliccato 'mi piace', cosa piace? Avete certezze su quello che la scena riprende? Estremizzo - sapendo di farlo, ma serve a sviluppare il ragionamento - se la protagonista fosse vostra figlia (se non l'avete, immaginate) avreste ugualmente apprezzato il pdr o la gamma dei grigi?

Certo potrebbe essere una foto di denuncia, ma questo richiederebbe che si denunci il fatto, che lo si conosca, che lo si descriva, che almeno si provi a capire il più possibile, non vaghi richiami a 'riti autentici'.

La cosa più probabile è che l'immagine rappresenti una finzione messa in scena ad uso di turisti ben paganti. Ma sinceramente, anche in questo caso, sapere che gli indigeni per compiacervi come visitatori, vi fanno vedere degli individui che costringono una ragazza con lo sguardo allucinato e terrorizzato, vi fa stare bene? Vi piace?

Certo potrebbe essere teatro, ma il teatro non può prescindere da una manifestazione assoluta di finzione, dalla tecnica recitativa alle scene: nessuno ha mai sospettato che gli attori che hanno interpretato Edipo avessero veramente ucciso il padre. Il ruolo del teatro è la finzione come come elaborazione della realtà, nessuna ambiguità o reticenza.

Daniele

I think I was very clear in the previous answer. The ritual, as already explained, is authentic and is linked to the traditional medicine of the tribe. The village was an unscheduled and other tourists were not present and in addition the ritual on my arrival was practically at the end Since from a linguistic point of view it was very complex to saturate a dialogue I could not make further insights into other aspects of the ritual and its exact reason.
And here I
close

Roberto I'm sorry, I understand everything, but objectively 'very clear' I don't.1
) if the hallucinated - terrified look of the girl is reality or fiction and what is due to
2) if the girl is aware and consenting or not
are two questions that have not been answered
and in my opinion they are absolutely decisive.
But don't worry: I realize that I am a misfit, the voice out of the chorus is me, we live in a world where the important thing is to call black people 'blacks' and not 'blacks' and many other things of 'image', for the rest the show must go on.
Take good photos, you are also very popular ... forget about me, but let me sow my seeds where I think it is right.
Daniel
