Breathtaking Photos Of Witch Doctors And Healers Reveal The Spiritual Diversity Of Bolivia. Artists Thomas Rousset and Raphaël Verona traveled across the Altiplano region of Bolivia for a very specific reason.
They wanted to photograph the astounding spiritual diversity of the landlocked South American expanses, capturing portraits of the healers, witch doctors and medicine men who keep traditional mystic culture alive. Living in a beautiful space between the country's storied religious past and its rapidly advancing present, these figures represent magical realism in the 21st century. From a snapshot of masked women lounging beside an antenna-equipped television to a crowded storage room packed to the brim with curious relics, Rousset and Verona's series reveals a quietly fascinating religious realm not often seen by Western audiences. Many of the images are staged, populated by merchants and makers of ritual objects in places like La Paz, Oruro, and Potosi. Annals of ye legacy - Humans of New York.
