Eine Landschaft der wilden, nackten, grimmigen Menschenfresser-Leute Flipbook

Eine Landschaft der wilden, nackten, grimmigen Menschenfresser-Leute is a flipbook inspired by the story of Hans Staden, the first German explorer to write about the cannibals living in the Atlantic Rainforest along the coast of Brazil.

During their search for the book ‘O gótico Brasileiro’ (Brazilian Gothic), Maaike Gouwenberg and Joris Lindhout looked into the different histories that developed the idea of cultural cannibalism, which became most apparent in the ideas of ‘Antropofagia’, but also in the darker and social political and critical films of José Mojíca Marins aka Zé do Caixão, a true Brazilian Gothic filmmaker.
