Ursula Schulz-Dornburg – Bugis Houses, Celebes. – [Signed + New].

Beschrijving

22 x 16 cm. [64] pp. Clothbound. Illustrated in colour. – Signed – In 1983, Ursula Schulz-Dornburg accompanied two ethnologists and an architect on a research trip to Tana Toraja on the central Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Initiated by the Royal Tropical Institute of Amsterdam, the trip was intended to ‘explore the changing patterns in architecture and symbolism among the Sa’dan Toraja’. On the way back from Rantepao to Ujung Pandang airport, Schulz-Dornburg passed the distinctive houses of the Bugis or To-Ugiq people, perched on the yellow paddy fields. Fascinated by their complex, expressive architectures, she began to photograph the houses in the short time she had before leaving, realising that the structures would likely not exist in their traditional form for much longer. – New copy
