Back to collection Phil Borges Spirit of Place Collection - Philippines
|
Lununa, 50
Signapan Basin Palawan, Philippines Lununa belongs to small tribe of 20 families called the Tau't Duram. As a balyan (shaman), Lununa regularly conducts healings by entering a trance through singing and chanting. In the last few years the Tau't Duram have had to rely on slash-and-burn farming to augment their hunting and gathering. I watched as Lununa conducted a ritual for a patient. His diagnosis for the illness: the patient had angered the mountain spirit by burning the land. This struck me, since Lununa himself had become a slash-and-burn farmer. (Tau't Duram) Collection: Spirit of Place - Philippines Artist: Photographer Phil Borges Medium: black and white fine art photography collection Finish: Framed These beautiful black and white fine art photography of people portrait of indigenous cultures are the trademark of humanitarian photographer Phil Borges.
