Group of Chimbu Skeleton tribesmen gathered around the fire (Papua New Guinea). HUMANKIND, my premium, limited-edition, museum-quality standard book featuring over 200 large-format photos is available here: https://www.robertopazziphoto.com #book The Chimbu Skeleton people, an ethnic and linguistic group numbering about 180,000, first made contact with the western world in 1934. Their origins can be traced back to an intriguing legend born after a significant number of hunters ventured into the mountains but failed to return. Determined to uncover the truth, a brave group of warriors embarked on an expedition to explore the mountains and stumbled upon a cave. Inside, they discovered an abundance of human skeletons and a colossal monster. To deceive the creature, they decided to paint their bodies with skeleton bones made of black and white clay, recreating the appearance of the fallen hunters and blending the painted bones with the actual ones. The ruse succeeded, and as the monster slumbered, the warriors stealthily made their way back to the safety of their village. Nowadays the Chimbu Skeleton paint themselves only during celebrative traditions. Website: https://www.robertopazziphoto.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roberto_pazzi_photo

The whole series is wonderful, you are catapulted into another world. They are precious documents, who knows if these realities will be able to resist, if they will remain like this in 50 years...
