Tristes Tropiques is a memoir, first published in France in 1955by the anthropologist and structuralist Claude Lévi-Strauss.It documents his travels and anthropological work, focusingprincipally on Brazil. Although ostensibly a travelogue, the workis infused with philosophical reflections and ideas linking manyacademic disciplines, such as sociology, history, and literature.
Lévi-Strauss’ reflections regarding the life of Brazilian indiansin a rapidly changing society, and the transformation in people’sperception vis-à-vis other cultures throughout the 20th centuryled us to use Tristes Tropiques as conceptual and visual point ofreference for our art project in Kunsthuis SYB, in the Frysian village of Beetsterzwaag.Thursday, September
