En savoir plus sur le livre
Wind, Sand, & Silence is an extraordinary photographic document by world traveler/photographer Victor Englebert. Over a period of twenty-six years - from 1965 to 1991 - Englebert lived and traveled with the nomads of Africa. While accompanying them on their journeys across the vast African terrain, or simply living with them in their camps, Englebert captured stunning images of their daily lives amid the barren beauty of their surroundings.Englebert journeyed across the spectacular Sahara with two men from the Tuareg tribe; he joined a salt caravan traveling on camelback through the Tenere, a desert within the Sahara and one of the bleakest places on earth; he lived with the shy, gentle, and elusive Bororo, whose only wish is to be beautiful and to dance every day; he traveled with the Danakil who, until recently, considered it their duty to kill intruders; and he lived with the fiercely independent Turkana, who are in constant conflict with other nomads over scarce pasture and water on the fringes of their territory.This personal, anecdotal account of Englebert's travels is a captivating story, a documentary of a way of life that is quickly disappearing, and a moving record of a noble and exotic culture.
