Waiting for the beauty. A journey through time and culture, capturing glimpses of the enigmatic rroma community. From the serene shores of Lake Lucerne in 1858 to the captivating images of a Gipsy woman smoking a pipe in Burgenland, Austria circa 1935. The lens then transports us to the vibrant 1960s, where we witness everyday moments unfold - a Gypsy woman enjoying her meal, a Gypsy man meticulously shaving his face, and another proudly guiding his horse-drawn cart through bustling streets. Amidst these scenes, we find glimpses into their domestic lives as well - a Gypsy woman diligently washing clothes by hand while her canine companion keeps watch; another adorned with colorful garments stands alongside her loyal dog. The camera also captures tender portraits of young rroma girls and boys accompanied by their faithful four-legged friends. Each image tells its own story, inviting us to explore this fascinating world that has often been misunderstood or overlooked. Through these snapshots frozen in time, we catch fleeting glimpses into the rich tapestry life – an intricate mosaic woven together by tradition, resilience, and an enduring spirit that transcends borders and generations alike.
