Donning the “savage,” celebrating life: an extraordinary project covering nineteen European countries by a photographer dedicated to portraying people in diverse communities around the world.

From time immemorial, festivals throughout Europe have featured “beast men” who, variously clad in fur and greenery and bedecked with bells and bones, celebrate the cycle of life and the seasons. Their mesmerizing diversity and grotesque beauty are on full display in this collection, which presents roughly 160 photographs along with explanatory notes on costume types.

The original edition of this book was published in Germany in 2012 by Kehrer Verlag.
The Japanese edition is available for purchase only within Japan.
