Sulawesi è un'isola della Repubblica Indonesiana, situata ad est del Borneo e a sud delle Filippine. Nella provincia meridionale dell'isola, sulle montagne, vivono i Toraja, etnia indigena di circa 650.000 persone. Per i Toraja, la morte di un membro della famiglia è un evento di fondamentale importanza, e le celebrazioni funebri sono lunghe, complesse ed estremamente dispendiose, tanto da essere probabilmente il principale momento di aggregazione sociale per l'intera popolazione. Più il morto era potente o ricco, più le cerimonie sono fastose: se si tratta di un nobile, il funerale può contare migliaia di partecipanti. Il momento culminante è il sacrificio degli animali ? maiali, bufali, polli: ancora una volta, il numero varia a seconda dell'influenza sociale del morto. La lama del machete può abbattersi anche su un centinaio di animali. Particolarmente importanti sono però i bufali d'acqua: oltre ad essere le bestie più costose, sono quelle che assicureranno al morto l'arrivo più celere al Puya, la terra delle anime. #CircoloFotografico

Thanks for the explanation Pinky, well represented by the click. I like the choice not to return to the devastated part of the animal, the presence of blood suggests it all. So as I like the choice to leave this part out of focus. I play as hard or resigned the reaction of the viewer, watching the havoc smoking a cigarette. Only note on the top of the shot, where one can see the legs of animals and people is like another beginning of the scene, however, is cut ... I see them almost as intruders in this context. (To better explain my thought is that I would have included entirely if to say, my legs belonged to a person who on the sidelines watching the scene too, integrating in time. So instead I see them useless.)

The shot I like it too. I like the composition. I agree with those who preceded me on the legs of the animals that can be seen in the upper part of the picture. As my interpretation would put the animal. Namely, death, fire, the person who observes the'd rather blurred to give the impression of strangeness towards death, a sense of not belonging (the viewer). Anyway congratulations. That
instead personally do not really appreciate is the long explanation. Telling a photo is nonsense. After reading 50 lines of explains why I look at the picture. If what you have described we can deduce by looking at the photo, at least in its essence means you made a great shot regardless. Hello

Hello, thanks for the comments. I agree with what you said for the upper part of the picture. I added the explanation for the picture itself but in order to introduce a people of whom we know practically nothing.

But I'm going against the current of Eliana and Arconudo, both as regards the inclusion of the legs of the animal is still alive (for long) and with regard to the caption.
To tell me the legs of the live part of what Mignolo explained in the caption, that according to the wealth and the social status of the deceased will kill many animals.
Regarding the caption, I think that photo in the caption of travel reporting is an integral and necessary. We think of newspapers such as National Geographic and the like, in which we publish articles on travel to exotic places and unknown, with photos supplied the story of the article (often accompanied by another caption for further specification of its narrative intent).
No caption this picture would tell me half of what I learned thanks to the caption. <It
All this and more just from my point of view, that is not and does not want to be absolutist ;-)

Eliana You're right, I made a single speech for you and Arconudo analyzing two points (caption and animal legs) but you do not apprezzavi only the speech of the legs! ;-) :-|

Gazie to everyone for the sincere comments. I thought that the animal's blood and gave quite fuzzy idea of ??what was happens slowly. I am also of the view that in the photo reportage serve at least a minimum of caption but maybe I'm wrong.

Fully agree with the caption, is also a way to travel and learn about other places and peoples Stano sitting at a desk (at least travel with the mind!).

As for the photo, the premise that the aesthetic point of view I like as it is, I might have preferred it to be included throughout the animal sacrificed, but keeping focus. It would have been definitely a document "stronger", but would give more idea of ??what it means to live one of these special celebrations: even if the blood leaves certainly guess that the unfortunate animal (which is far from the pool) did not do a good end I need to read the caption to figure out who was sacrificed, just to give an example. If the subject of the report is not the man in the foreground who smokes and watches the fun riteebre but the funeral itself, as the caption suggests, then I would rather have an image that raffigurasse the ritual, not the man: maybe would have been a more raw, but for this I would have sent you a different feeling .. . I would forward the idea of ??seeing something that is culturally unusual for us.
In summary, what I mean is that I have the impression that here the caption IS the message, accompanied by a photo caption that needs not only to be seen in the context but also to be explained: I do not have the feeling of seeing through picture what the caption says (the ultimate goal of the genus travel report), and this seems a bit 'incomplete.

Do not get me wrong, it would have been perfect if inserted in a gallery with more pictures thatshowed that the rite: I feel so alone defects of the emotional charge that should instead take with them, given the situation described.
