In one of my previous posts, I wrote about my aesthetic and spiritual experience watching the photographs of Die Nuba von Kau. I was so impressed by it, that last week I ordered a copy of Leni’s previous work on the Nuba people (Die Nuba). Again, I bought the book on ebay, to another German antique dealer. Today, the package arrived, and the photobook was in perfect condition. 🙂
As with Die Nuba von Kau, the experience watching the photographs on Die Nuba is awesome. But of a somewhat different kind. This work deals more with anthropology and a bit less with aesthetics. It has more texts explaining the photos, as well. In the end, the experience is very, very powerful. And spiritual, too (buy maybe a bit less than in Die Nuba von Kau).
In summary, another impressive work by Leni Riefenstahl. Full of Life and Beauty.
