"Hommage à Noir" - a journey through the dark continent, an homage to its people and cultures, an intensive confrontation with a "third world", a filmed poem which shows the people of Africa in their full dignity and with their full pride, between traditional rituals and modern everyday life, between palaces and simple huts.

It is a great honour for Ralf Schmerberg to be taken up in this circle of outstanding artists - nothing common for a german photographer. |
Ralf Schmerberg is working together with Peter Herrmann since 1992. Peter Herrmanns parts in the project "the tribe of the white warriors" were: opening the contacts to important collectors for getting their objects, advising about the backgrounds of the world of masks, their valences and a suitable treatment of such precious artworks. |
