Katrin Korfmann - Kolorit (2012)
Kolorit refers to the combination, shadow and composition of various colours in a painting or photograph, but the word is also used as a metaphor to describe a culture or lifestyle in a foreign place. The three-part body of work is the result of a project trip to India earlier in 2012 where she documents the Hindu ritual known as the Holi Festival. The event is a celebration of colour and the welcoming of the new spring season. The iconic tradition sees thousands of people catapult pigmented powder and perfume at one another. The photographs capture the compelling detail exploding from each scene - seizing the infectious energy, vitality and spirit which is so unique to the tradition. Via.
