Barbora Slapetová, Lukás Rittstein: Ultra: Why the Night Is Black

A three-part artistic research project exploring the oral histories of the Papuan Yeli Mek tribe, in a symbolic "final first contact" between cultures

Czech artists Barbora Slapetová and Lukás Rittstein (both born 1973) have created a three-part series based on their work with the Papuan Yali Mek tribal chiefs. This first book, richly supplemented with black-and-white photographs, is the first ever transcription of recorded interviews conducted with this specific tribe.
