Jesco Von Puttkamer (1919-1994)

Sobre o autor:

"A fake vaccination campaign had been photographed and a National Geographic article, written by what was probably the same photographer, Jesco, had portrayed the contact as a noble and exciting adventure, carried out by experts in contacting isolated indigenous groups (sertanistas). This is the same photographer mentioned by in the book Anxious Pleasures: The Sexual Lives of an Amazonian People, written by the anthropologist Thomas Gregor, who mentions the strange sexual adventures of the photographer with indigenous men and boys on the Xingu. Some Hawks were on the Suruí contact expedition and recounted that one night when Jesco was drunk he opened fire with his revolver in their direction. They forgot about snakes, electric eels and sting rays and dove deep into the igarapé."
