Description
Charles Fréger's The Image of the Savage is a photographic exploration of the Wild Man, a figure celebrated in masquerades across Europe. By donning animal skins and adopting the forms of beasts, individuals from Scotland to Bulgaria and from Finland to Italy participate in ancient rituals, embracing the cycle of life and the seasons. Fréger's project took him to eighteen European countries, capturing the diversity of these masquerades and the people who participate in them. This book presents a unique and fascinating glimpse into these traditions, revealing the ways in which people connect with nature and the human experience. Through his photographs, Fréger sheds light on a rich and complex cultural heritage, one that is both deeply rooted in history and yet continues to evolve in the present day.
