Señor Selknam (Selknam Man)

These portraits of a young woman and a man from the ethnic group Selknam, also known as Ona, are based on the photographs taken by Martin Gusinde, an Austrian priest and ethnologist who visited Patagonia from 1918 to 1924 to study and produce the only record of the now extinct indigenous group. Upon her arrival to Chile, after feeing her native Venezuela, De Haay came to learn about the Selknam people and made them the subject of her most recent work on metal.
