Portrait of a woman. Mursi ethnic group, Ethiopia
This artwork is offered by IMMAGIS · ART PHOTOGRAPHY, one of the leading galleries for contemporary Fine Art Photography, located in Munich/Germany.
The horns worn by Mursi women are not simply decorative but also reflect their culture’s attitude towards their cows, which play a crucial role in ensuring survival through hard times. Cattle breeding is one of the most important part of Mursi and Surma culture.
Olga Michi is a modern digital artist, author of the concept of cinematographic projects. In her works, Olga follows the traditions of Western European art, in particular, the approaches that masters of the Düsseldorf school of photography employ. Olga's works cover and address a wide range of topics, including both acute problems of modern life and absorbing philosophical questions. What lies in the heart of Olga Michi's art projects is photographic images that undergo a multitude of artistic, conceptual, and technical processing stages to become finished pieces of art that together constitute thematic series. At every phase of image preparation, final printing, publication of signature albums, exhibitions, or cinematographic production, a team of specialists ensures the impeccable level of execution of Michi's works.
One of Olga's projects, "Vulnerable", is devoted to the problem of preserving the culture of Northern, Asian, and African people, whose traditions grotesquely converge with the innovations brought by the modern European civilization. The project received international recognition with the publication of the namesake album, "Vulnerable", by German publisher teNeues, in English and German. The album gained positive reception in more than 10 leading European outlets, including Stern, Daily Mail, and others.
