A magnificent volume and a journey through time: This is Christine
Turnauer's black and white photo series from 1986, first published
in book form. North American indigenous peoples travel thousands of
miles to participate in traditional dance contests called powwows.
Christine Turnauer visited them from northern Alberta to southern
Montana with her mobile studio tent. The result was very authentic
and extraordinary portraits. The dancers were completely themselves
and when they wear their traditional costumes, it becomes a
spontaneous expression of pride and inner freedom. It seems as if
they have a connection to their ancestors. What at first glance may
seem like the black-and-white photographs of an Edward S. Curtis
and other classics of "Indian" portrait photography of the late
19th and early 20th centuries, is experiencing a new perspective
with Turnauer. For the poses are not posed by the photographer, but
arise from the active participation of those photographed.
