AFRICAN HEROES
SAMBURU-MAASAI
GUZZINI, MATTEO / GENTILI, MORENO
Samburu warriors always greet each other according to a historical memory shared from generation to generation. “Hero supa?”, which means “How are you, hero?”. Matteo Guzzini has followed them on this road, just like an “explorer” of ancient, yet modern senses and suggestions, searching for rites and customs of a lifestyle that, when looked at on these pages, creates astonishment. The colour of sunlight, the food, the sharp weapons and firearms originate a tale of authentic realism that leaves little margin for imagination. “Seeing” these photos is already imagining, rather than travelling with the body. And it is worthwhile to point out that, in such a digital era like the one we are living in, the author decides not to retouch the images in order to respect the original colours of this strip of land and its inhabitants.
