PhotoZULLA - Photographic Journeys

Pre-Columbian Art is the art of Mexico, Central, the Caribbean, and South America in the time prior to the arrival of European colonizers in the 15th century.
The art thrived over a wide timescale from 1800 BCE to 1500 CE.  The indigenous cultures each developed sophisticated artistic disciplines, highly influenced by religious and spiritual concerns. These cultures viewed reality as a multilayered universe with various divisions, attended by numerous deities whose activities and relationships metaphorically expressed the forces of nature and cosmos.
Most of the now known artworks made in Central America and South America before the voyage of Christopher Columbus have been found in tombs.(Wikipedia)

In this photographic journey we explore some of that art, as seen in the Berlin Museum of World Cultures.
