Chimbu Skeleton tribesmen (Papua New Guinea). HUMANKIND, my premium, limited-edition, museum-quality standard book featuring over 200 large-format photos. Available on my website: https://robertopazziphoto.com 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://robertopazziphoto.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/roberto_pazzi_photo

Roberto, la fotografia è ricordo, emozione, documentazione, talvolta anche interpretazione della realtà.
Commento su questa immagine, che già aveva catturato la mia attenzione ieri, ma questo pensiero vale per tutte le altre delle tue gallerie.
L'intimo coinvolgimento che queste immagini riescono a trasmettere è magnetico. Ti senti trasportato all'interno di realtà sconosciute, immerso in culture, usanze e tradizioni secolari di popoli così lontani, geograficamente e culturalmente, da noi.
I personaggi prendono vita e raccontano la loro storia.
Una meraviglia unica, non riesco a smettere di guardarle e l'impeto di cercare le informazioni che forniscano gli strumenti per apprezzarle ancora di più, si fa pressante.
Sul fondo di tutto vi è però il rammarico di non aver la possibilità di poter essere uno dei pochi che ti segue in queste avventure da sogno.
Grazie di condividere queste immagini.
Un saluto

paolo
