Synopsis
Although one of the biggest countries in Africa, Sudan is nonetheless one of the least known. Seldom, Although one of the biggest countries in Africa, Sudan is nonetheless one of the least known. Seldom exposed to the ravages of civilization, the Nilotics tribe have preserved their customs almost intact. They have adapted to the hardship imposed by their environment and, proud of this adaptation, are self-sufficient. However, military surveillance has forced on these people - who live without government, judicial institutions or political structures - an awareness of their dependence on Khartoum. Having spent several happy, rewarding stays among the Nilotics, during which he tried to grasp the essence of this people and their original qualities, Jean-Baptiste Sevette came to appreciate the integrity, purity and pride of these herdsmen, whose ingenuity seems to belong to a bygone era., A photographic testimony to a noble tribe in the SudanAlthough it is one of the biggest countries in Africa, Sudan is nonetheless one of the least known. Seldom exposed to the ravages of civilization, the Nilotics tribe have preserved their customs almost intact. Courageous fighters, fiercely independent, raised in the hard school of hunger and suffering, with nothing but their clubs and spears to help them assert their rights, the Nilotics have adapted to the hardship imposed by their environment and, proud of this adaptation, are self-sufficient. However military surveillance has forced on these people - who live without government, judicial institutions or political structures - an awareness of their dependence on Khartoum.Having spent several happy, rewarding stays among the Nilotics, during which he tried to grasp the essence of this people and their original qualities, Jean-Baptiste Sevette came to appreciate the integrity, purity and pride of these herdsmen, whose ingenuity seems to belong to a bygone era..That is why, just as we take a last look at values we feel are threatened, Sevette set his heart on fixing in pictures and words the simplicity, naiveti and continuity characteristic of this group of pastoralists whose destiny is so closely and exclusively tied to its cattle. It is to be feared that the nobility of these sons of nature has its place only in the memory of the men who have been lucky enough to know and love them.Jean Baptiste Sevett was hired as a photographer by the Swiss mission to the Sudan from 1967 to 1982. Through this experience, personal as much as professional, he gained privileged access to the daily lives of many ethnic groups. This photographictestimony is undoubtedly one of the last to look at these groups who have now been chased out of history.
