Tate Photography: Claudia Andujar

For over five decades Claudia Andujar has devoted her life to photographing and protecting the Yanomami, one of Brazil's largest indigenous groups. Attempting to translate visually the shamanic culture of the Yanomami, she experiments with a variety of photographic techniques to create visual distortions, streaks of light and saturated colours, imbuing her images with a feeling of the otherworldly. The Tate Photography Series is a celebration of photography by artists in the Tate collection, presenting the work of some of the most significant photographers in the world today.Each book features a specially selected sequence of images alongside an introduction and a conversation with or about each photographer's practice. The unifying theme for this second group of titles in the series is Ecology and Environment.
