Shot in 2009 en route from Ethiopia’s northern highlands to the lower Omo Valley via bush taxi, Isuzu cargo trucks, and by any means possible, Olivia Wyatt’s hour-long film takes in Zar spirit possession, Hamer tribal wedding ceremonies, Borena water well polyphonic singing, wild hyena feedings and bizarre chunks of Ethiopian TV.
Unflinching yet wildly poetic, her visually stunning record of thirteen Ethiopian tribes is paired with a 136-page book of Polaroids and a CD of field recordings — in a one-off limited edition.
