Mănăşturu Românesc
Romania 2014 |
Monochrome outfit colors highlights the green landscape of Mănăşturu Românesc a small hungarian-romanian village, about 50 minutes drive away from the centre of Cluj-Napoca. This 50 minute drives represent the 50 years traveling back in time. Apples really grew beside the kitchen windows there for us to pick and keep the doctor away and not as a second life medium on a desk or portable. The fresh water source of transalvania just runs at your backyard. Nature is mans best friend. Some houses are renovated, financed by the growing children that went to the big city to work. Indoor toilets, with tiles but the outdoor wooden build native toilets was still best loved. Modernity does not kill traditions but in fact its just a second option.

Tanjung Isuy
East Borneo 2014 |
The Dayak Benuaq people of Tanjung Isuy are losing their forest to palm oil. Western-style negotiations have failed to stop the clearcutting. With bulldozers poised to take what little remains of their ancestral forest, tribal elders say their best hope is to hold a ceremony that since ancient times has been used to resolve difficult disputes and highly charged situations with great power.

They’re the people who clean the city. This is Jakarta where the rich build their kingdom of Liberty and where the poor clean the mess. |
