RAPA Benedicte de VALS fOtOfilms
BODY PAINTING: Toni Hucke ORIGINAL MUSIC: Chris Honorat SPECIAL THANKS: Lan Chile Airlines 'Rapa Nui' is the authentic name for 'Easter Island' where these photographs were created in one of the most sacred underground lava caves on the island. In ancient times the noble people would paint their bodies with different colored earth which is found in the cliffs on one beach on the island. Benedicte was painted with this earth in the traditional manner by one of the island's leading artists Toni Hucke who has the knowledge of the authentic traditions.'Rapa Nui' is a magical place with an astounding history which is not fully understood even to this day although supposedly it was originally inhabited by red haired Caucasians from South America who were joined later by Polynesians from the Marquesas. The Caucasians were the Chiefs (Bird People) hence the reason the enormous statues 'Moai' have red disks on their heads, representing the way they wrapped their red hair in those ancient times. This is the first in a series of 'fOtOfilms' - emotional 'Dreamscapes' photographed on Easter Island during 2008.
