About the Item

"I wanted to photograph the Dinka of Yirol for simple reasons. They are tall -- many are 7 feet tall and more. They are thin and muscular. And, they exude a certain air of nobility. They are, in my mind, perfect humans. The Dinka from this region of South Sudan have a reputation for super-human ferocity in battle. When I first encountered these cowherds I was struck most by their apparent lack of emotion. It felt as if they had more in common with the cows they herd than they did with the other tribes in the region who threaten them on a regular basis. They move slowly, speaking softly to each other, resting for long periods. No energy is wasted. They walk hundreds of miles with little food or water. As I photographed them, I was aware that any one of them were capable of killing me with their bare hands. I didn?€™t feel threatened. Never have I encountered a group so homogenous and so passive in their reaction to me. They displayed a trust mixed with confidence and mild curiosity. We didn?€™t share a single word. I motioned to the backdrop, and as they stood for the portraits, I felt them interrogate me from behind their blank stares. The Dinka of Yirol keep to themselves, wear short floral dresses and decorate themselves with rubber gaskets, electric cables and cheap Chinese jewelry. They don?€™t carry guns, but big sticks. They are vain and superior, but their dignity and self-sufficiency imparts elegance." - Tim Freccia Tim Freccia has spent 25 years traveling to some of the world's most difficult and dangerous locations as a documentary photographer and film maker. His work has been featured in major international magazines, newspapers and television broadcasts. After a short career as a commercial fisherman in Alaska, Freccia's early photographic focus was on editorial fashion, with an early assignment for Karl Lagerfeld. Freccia documented Haiti's first democratic election, and the subsequent military coup, obtaining an exclusive audience with General Raoul Cedras. He continued on a path through the Third World, covering Tuareg uprisings in Niger and Mali, Nelson Mandela's triumphant tour of Africa following his release from prison, 2004-2005 Indian Ocean tsunami victims, war in Eastern Congo and Somalia, the Libyan revolution and stories focused on people living in the world's most compromised environments. - - - - - - RICCO/MARESCA was founded in 1979 on Broome Street in New York?€™s then-emerging SoHo gallery district. The gallery relocated to TriBeCa in the 1980s, then later moved to Wooster Street in SoHo, which by then had become a well-developed center of contemporary-art galleries. In 1997, Ricco/Maresca became one of the first galleries to become established in the new Chelsea art district. The gallery is currently located at 529 West 20th Street. Following in the footsteps of the legendary New York dealer Sidney Janis, Ricco/Maresca has championed and showcased the art of self-taught masters working outside the art-historical mainstream. The gallery focuses both on significant contemporary art in various media and on historically important American art of the 20th century. Over a period of 25 years, with publishing partners that have included Alfred A. Knopf, Bulfinch Press, Little, Brown and Company, and Pomegranate Press, among others, Ricco/Maresca has produced books that have helped blur the lines that traditionally have separated conventional art-historical categories and the vernacular-art category. The gallery is a participant in the Armory Show, New York; Art Chicago; Scope New York; Scope Miami; AIPAD and the PINTA Modern and Contemporary Latin-American Art Show, New York. The gallery works closely with major museums and collectors, and offers services that range from collection management to installation design and conservation.
