Claude Lévi-Strauss - Tristes TropiquesÉditions Plon, Paris, 1955
Claude Lévi-Strauss1908-2009
Claude Lévi-Strauss
“Possibly the time will come we discover that the same logic is the source of both mythical and scientific thought, en that Man has always thought well.”
"Peut-être découvrirons-nous un jour que la même logique est à l'oeuvre dans la pensée mythique et dans la pensée scientifique, et que l'homme a toujours pensé aussi bien."
Tristes Tropiques is a memoir, first published in France in 1955 by the anthropologist and structuralist Claude Lévi-Strauss. It documents his travels and anthropological work, focusing
principally on Brazil. Although ostensibly a travelogue, the work is infused with philosophical reflections and ideas linking many academic disciplines, such as sociology, history, and literature.
Lévi-Strauss’ reflections regarding the life of Brazilian indians in a rapidly changing society, and the transformation in people’s perception vis-à-vis other cultures throughout the 20th century led us to use Tristes Tropiques as conceptual and visual point of reference for our art project in Kunsthuis SYB, in Beetsterzwaag.

Prior to the photo sessions we invited Beetsterzwaag residents to attend several
presentations we held in the weekends. Here we explained our project and invited the
audience to act as model. Together with the models-to-be we discussed the casting and
the agenda for the following weeks.All in all thirty people took part: men and
women, children and senior citizens, with a few exceptions all living in Beetsterzwaag.
