Hans SIlvester's breathtaking photos of the Surma and Musri tribes from the Omo Valley are a glimpse into an ancient tradition of body decoration. These tribes utilize the natural world around them to create stunning works of body art. Using minerals and paints created from plant extracts, the Omo people create intricate designs, transforming themselves into living works of art. Flowers and leaves are also often integrated into stunning hair-pieces and headdresses.
Through his artful documentation of the Omo people and their tradition, the photographer reminds us that fashion and art is not only to be found on the runways of Paris or the glossy pages of contemporary art magazines. In fact, it may be in the most unexpected places that the most stunning works of art are found.
