"An artist's book consisting of a facsimile of the photographic supplement of the book Tristes Tropiques (1955) by the French cultural anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss. His photographs of Brazilian tribes were recreated together with a group of inhabitants from Beetsterzwaag, a village in the region of Frysia (NL). Using this 'counter exploration' through space and time, the artists emphasize the continuity of human expression and cultural exchange."--Artist's website
