Medium of the image: Film
Person depicted: Mursi tribal person

This still-frame is from the non-narrative, documentary film Samsara, which — like its sister film Baraka — explores a kaleidoscopic vision of nature: animals, landscapes, humans, technology, tribes, and mega-cities. The visually stunning film was shot in 25 countries on five continents over a four-year period. The still-frame depicts a Mursi tribe member, part of the Nilotic pastoral ethnic group who live in the Omo River valley in Ethiopia. Her lips are figured to hold a lip plate.
