A Welcome Adventure

into the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, 1977

In 1977, an abiding desire to photograph Old World peoples and cultures offered 23-year-old Victoria Ginn an escape from the wintery city of Melbourne, Australia, leading her by whatever means (including accompanying homicidal maniacs gone troppo) into the remote, jungle-swathed Highlands of Papua New Guinea.

Here, in a hidden valley yet to fall victim to Christian missionaries bent on ensnaring the souls of its Stone Age occupants, Victoria met and photographed a people whose ancient culture included forest magicians, sorcerers, dandies, bachelor-cult leaders … living archetypes whose pure jungle spirit remained connected to the very birth of humankind’s spiritual consciousness.

Intended as a mirror to the photographs, the quirkily spiritual, psychological and poetic text makes this culturally historic portrait notable and relevant.
