EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a magical drum used by shamans in Lapland, beautifully illustrated in a 19th-century book on Linne's journey. The unknown artist skillfully depicts this intriguing object, which holds deep knowledge and significance within Nordic countries. The percussion instrument featured here is not just an ordinary musical tool; it represents the rich natural history and spiritual traditions of Lapland. It serves as a conduit between the physical and spiritual realms, allowing shamans to connect with ancient forces through rhythmic beats and enchanting melodies. As we delve into the image, we are transported to a world where shamanism reigns supreme. The Norwegian landscape comes alive with mystical energy as this sacred drum takes center stage. Its intricate design reflects centuries of tradition and wisdom passed down from generation to generation. Carl von Linne, an esteemed explorer and scientist of the 18th century, encountered these extraordinary drums during his travels through Lapland. His encounters with shamanic practices left an indelible mark on him, shaping his understanding of both nature and spirituality. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are granted a glimpse into this ancient art form that continues to thrive today. This print reminds us of the power that music possesses in bridging worlds unseen – a testament to human creativity intertwined with nature's wonders.
