Book Presentation:
A partir des années 60, Leni Riefenstahl voyagea fréquemment en Afrique, surtout au Soudan où elle vécut dans la tribu des Nubiens pour y poursuivre des projets de films et de photographies. Cet album, paraissant l'année de son centenaire, regroupe des photographies de Nubiens, mais aussi de Dinka, de Shilluk et de Masaï et constitue un point de repère dans la carrière de cette pionnière artistique.
Book Presentation:
"If Leni Riefenstahl had done nothing but visit Africa and bring back her photographs, her place in history would be secure." -Kevin Brownlow, from the introduction When she was in her early sixties, Leni Riefenstahl began traveling frequently to the African continent, where she has worked on various film and photography projects over the last half century. Her favorite destination was in Sudan, where she lived with and photographed the Nuba tribespeople, learning their language and becoming their friend. The Nuba were a loving and peaceful people who welcomed Riefenstahl as one of their own. Her images of the Nuba, as well as of the Dinka, Shilluk, Masai, and other tribes, are gathered in this monumental book. Riefenstahl remembers her experiences in Africa as the happiest moments in her life. Her beautiful, skilled photographs represent a landmark in the extraordinary career of the 20th century's most unforgettable artistic pioneer. * Interview by Kevin Brownlow * Extensive bibliography and biography section
