Before They Pass Away: Les dernières Ethnies- Avant qu'elles ne disparaissent (E/ F/ G)

Product Information

Jimmy Nelson hat für diesen Bildband die Lebensweise verschiedener Stammeskulturen aus aller Welt dokumentiert. It’s a fantasy that to me says more about the people who are consumers of these images than the people who are the ostensible subjects. We will be around for a long time, fighting for our land, living in this world and continuing to create our children. Bevor sie aussterben: Der einmalige Bildband mit Porträts von 27 Stammeskulturen rund um den Globus.

Collected into this single volume are high-fashion portraits of tribal people in their most distinguished, authentic costumes. Linking eastern culture to where tea leaves were first discovered to western culture after King Charles II first introduced it to Britain. They are mostly posed, which means he had to get the cooperation of remote and in some cases potentially hostile people, some of whom had doubtless never even seen a camera and had no idea what the artist was up to. In seinem epochalen Bildband Before They Pass Away fängt Jimmy Nelson die Lebensweise der letzten verbliebenen Völker ein, denen es gelingt, in einer globalisierten Welt ihre überlieferten Bräuche aufrechtzuerhalten.Cover has minimal but visible scuffing, otherwise a clean and sound copy of this book; no writing, highlighting, odors, stains, tears or folds.

Come with me and walk the fine line between pleasure and pain of love, life and friendships with a certain sense of ethereal fluidity juxtaposed with strong black. This tribute to vibrant tribal cultures around the world is a must-have for any lover of documentary photography.He could even add more text about his journey to get there, interviews or dialogs with some of the people, put a name to them, etc. Nelson sells fairytale versions of happy tribes as if they're all paradisaical, better versions of modern society. Lots of wonderful photos of the Dani people which are probably the most photographed in that country.

What I feel a bit ambivalent about is the scanty and seemingly rather romanticized text that accompanies them. Entdecken Sie die Schönheit und Vielfalt der Stammeskulturen anhand der exquisiten Fotografien von Jimmy Nelson in diesem fesselnden Bildband Gewinnen Sie ein tieferes Verständnis für das kulturelle Erbe der Menschheit, während Sie diese abgelegenen Stämme in Afrika und Asien erkunden, die alle ihre eigene faszinierende Geschichte zu erzählen haben. A human being has the capacity to be their own best friend and their own worst enemy with the blink of an eye.As cultures are rapidly changing through time, and the world’s cultural diversity is at risk, now is the moment to act. Nelson’s mission is built on a horrifying assumption: that these Indigenous peoples are on the brink of destruction.
