...During the initiation ritual, the boys are tied to a frame, the youngest warrior of the tribe rubs their chest and back with a leaf of the ritual plant. The boys are left on the frame until they stop screaming and crying, and are able to pronounce the formula that attributes them their warrior names. The leaves of the plant and the child loincloths are finally burnt. A boy who does not vocalize his pain is particularly praised. But this is registered only in ancient myths.

...They have been tied up like this half an hour ago but the punishment is being already effective. Their arms, neck and back are aching, the rough rope is scratching their wrists. They have to release their weight on their legs or on their arms, until fatigue and aching force them to alternate in an endless dance.

... Before I made this, I had seen a fine couple of brothers, probably twins, in the grocery store (in that moment I wished it was a slave market): probably younger than twenty, mixed features and color, dark curly hair, sweet smirks and smart eyes. They were actively helping their father to transport the shopping bags, hence I guessed they could be hard workers.

Madagascar
799 x 1000 pix
Published by Taschen in 1997, Gian Paolo Barbieri captures the island of Madagascar in all of its primordial beauty revealing unique landscapes and a rich variety of animal and vegetable life, creating vivacious portraits of warriors, workers, fishermen, women and children. Sumptuous and suggestive, the duotone photos exploit the light of the tropics and detaining themself in the details, canoes like orchids, crocodile trees, though shot in black and white; they are charged with color like the fishermen and the farmers.

Krásně vykreslená flap-less bederka na nádherném mladém těle, kterého se stává přirozenou anatomickou součástí. Doslova protéká mezi jeho půlkami. Opasek je skvěle provedený; jak konstrukcí, tak realizováním této konstrukce. Tento obrázek považuji za aktuální vrchol skvělé práce Dennise. Rád bych viděl tohoto chlapce i zepředu, rozhodně tedy skrz optiku autora.
