The lower valley of the Omo, at the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan, remains one of the wildest places in Africa. Over the course of numerous voyages to this forgotten land, Hans Silvester became fascinated by the beauty of the Surma and Mursi tribes, who share a taste for body painting and extravagant decorations borrowed from nature. In this region of East Africa, a multitude of plants inspire fanciful and ephemeral self-decoration. The decorations are embellished with butterfly wings, buffalo horns, boarÕs teeth or colourful feathers and are further enhanced by body painting with pigments made from powdered stone, plants, berries and river mud.
