The photographic record of the Surma and Karo tribes is the basis of Beckwith and Fisher’s exhibition at Holden Luntz Gallery, in Palm Beach, Florida. It is the inaugural gallery show of this body of work. Fisher and Beckwith have produced these photographic portraits at the internationally acclaimed Cuerpos Pintados Experimental Workshop in Santiago, Chile. Cuerpos Pintados allows them to produce state of the art, archival, dramatic photographs concentrating on the traditions of body painting. At this workshop their focus is on the individuals and their customs rather than on the geography and landscape of Africa.
Fisher and Beckwith have collaborated with Cuerpos Pintados to produce a magically beautiful body of work that stress the universal dimensions of humanity. The sacred, spiritual and divine are captured through the medium of photography.
