Koos Breukel and Roy Villevoye. Tí

The Asmat in the Indonesian part of New Guinea is a largely impassable mangrove swamp, roughly the same size as The Netherlands. The native inhabitants still live here, isolated from the rest of the world. Visual artist Roy Villevoye (1960) and photographer Koos Breukel (1962) visited the small hamlet of Tí together at the end of 2011.
Breukel and Villevoye portrayed every single one of the 120 inhabitants. They each made these portraits using their own particular experience, way of looking and background during photography sessions with the villagers which took place simultaneously. The resulting photographs were printed immediately and given to each person.
