Transformation

The Busó Festival is undoubtedly a special attraction, but as a simple visitor, one remains an outsider, as if the secret that surrounds the busó would also envelop the event itself. In the Great Busó Book the photographer breaks through this hindrance, goes into the hot centre of the tradition, and makes visible what otherwise remains hidden from the eyes of a mere spectator. This can only be done by someone who has himself been enchanted by the Busó Festivities. It’s the kind of revelation that makes the secret even more mysterious. The photographs reveal the unspeakable, preparing us to embrace the mystery. Can anyone take us deeper, higher?
