Ich wollte euch heute diesen Beitrag von Msamba (The Manchester School of Samba) zeigen. Auf der Seite findet ihr unter vielem anderem Kunst aller Art und viel Musik.
Diese Kunst erinnerte mich an eine Fotoserie aus Finnland, die ich einmal irgendwo gesehen habe.

Leider wurde nicht erklärt, was der Zweck dieser Kopfbedeckungen war, aber vielleicht habe ich es ja schon genannt … 😉Today I would like to show you this post by Msamba (The Manchester school of Samba).

Norwegian-Finnish artist duo Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen bring a folklore-inspired vision to the relationship between humans and nature. The majority of their subjects are elders who often have a deeper connection to the lands they inhabit, work on, or cultivate.

Their photographic odyssey across 15 countries and creation of more than 100 portraits evolved into a general exploration of modern humans’ relationships to nature. The title of the series not only comes from a folktale but also represents the curiosity that guides the way Hjorth and Ikonen interact with the world.[…]
