Kibish, on the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan, is a village unlike any other. Far from any city and with an unforgiving climate, it has nonetheless become a place where traditional lifestyles meet the contemporary world. This book is a beguiling portrait of the people of the Omo Valley, seen through an unusual lens - that of a simple window frame. From painted, marked and scarified tribesmen to tradesmen with their tools and farmers with their animals, this collection is a priceiess record of a unique and increasingly fragile way of life, one threatened by conflict, tourism and the rapidly encroaching twenty-first century.
