一个展示菲利斯•加伦波的服装、仪式和墨西哥化装舞会传统的非凡照片
菲利斯•加伦波曾周游世界各地参加宗教化妆舞会。在非洲、加勒比海，以及现在的墨西哥，她捕捉到了具有当地特色的文化表演。用一种直接、自然的肖像摄影风格，Galembo捕捉到了她的摄影对象，他们地穿着令人惊讶的传统或仪式服装。与过去、现在和未来的瞬间碰撞相协调，Galembo发现了她的主题永恒的优雅和尊严。
面具是一种复杂的、神秘的、悠久的传统，在这种传统中，参与者超越物质世界，进入精神领域。在她充满活力的形象中，Galembo强调了个体的创造力，这些个体通过将从直接环境中收集的材料拼凑在一起，将他们对神话人物的想象理想化，最终变成了对自己的幻想再现。

A showcase of Phyllis Galembo’s extraordinary photographs of the costume, ritual and traditions of masquerade Mexico

Phyllis Galembo has travelled all over the globe to sites of ritual masquerade. In Africa, the Caribbean, and now Mexico, she captures cultural performances with a subterranean political edge. Using a direct, unaffected portrait style, Galembo captures her subjects informally posed but often strikingly attired in traditional or ritualistic dress. Attuned to a moment’s collision of past, present and future, Galembo finds the timeless elegance and dignity of her subjects.

Masking is a complex, mysterious, and profound tradition in which the participants transcend the physical world and enter the spiritual realm. In her vibrant images, Galembo exposes an ornate code of political, artistic, theatrical, social and religious symbolism and commentary. Galembo highlights the creativity of the individuals morphing into a fantastical representation of themselves, having cobbled together materials gathered from the immediate environment to idealize their vision of mythical figures. While still pronounced in their personal identity, the subject’s intentions are rooted in the larger dynamics of religious, political and cultural affiliation. Establishing these connections is a hallmark of Galembo’s work.
