Anthropology

Masks, customs, garments, costumes in Latin America, Africa, Oceania, Japan... Not an academic selection, but sequences where the traditional turns into fiction, release, myth. In this section we mix recent photobooks with volumes of early ethnography from the 19th and 20th centuries, sometimes marked by a clear colonial and racist bias that would be unthinkable today. Volumes filled with old photographs by those who ventured into distant, unknown places, carrying their full Western subjectivity. Essential to read between the lines.
