Trance by Jorge Luis Alvarez Pupo
$15.99
Secondhand hardcover very good condition. Published by Perceval Press, 2003. A photographic exploration of Haitian Vodou and Santería traditions, capturing the spiritual movement of the body during trance states, ancestral worship, and sacred rituals. Through his lens, photographer Jorge Luis Alvarez Pupo documents the preservation of African-diasporic religious practices that survived slavery, focusing on elements such as dance, music, fire, and machetes within these spiritual ceremonies. The work reflects Pupo's personal connection to Santería and his philosophical perspective on how individual visions serve as pathways to understanding reality.
