If you took the complexity of Nick Cave's soundsuits (previously here) and combined them with the rural aesthetics of Riita Ikonen and Karoline Hjorth "Eyes as Big as Plates" (previously here) you'd get Charles Fréger's "Wilder Mann." The series documents the century old rituals of peoples in over eighteen European countries, dressed in elaborate costumes to celebrate the cycle of life and the passing of seasons. Men and women adorn themselves in ceremonial garb to uphold the traditions of their people and ancestors.
