My goal was to find a Dulong woman that still had the traditional tattoos.
There was a small village and when we walked into someone's courtyard, I looked up and I saw a woman with the tattoo face.
I pulled my camera out and asked her if I#could take a photo.
That's the image that I took for the pop-up book about the 25#ethnic minority groups of Yunnan Province.
Keep going.
Keep going.
I decided to incorporate# a trip that I took to Guangxi Province.
There's a group of women from the Red Yao tribe.
Their hair can be up to seven feet long and they wash their hair in the fermented#rice water from the terrace rice fields.
Traditionally they are not supposed to show#their hair to anyone but their husbands.
But now the women will unwrap their hair from a turban and show their hair to the tourists.
For a small fee, you can# take pictures of them or with them.
So, this exhibition is called A#Day in the Terraced Rice Fields, and it's inspired by a 1890 pop-up#book called A Day in the Zoo.
A Day in the Zoo has bars for the animals.
So, I decided to create bars for the#people, but in a Chinese style.
In A Day of the Zoo, there are these#flaps that tell you how to look at the animals.
Watch the keeper feed# the hungry lions.
So, instead, I've put directions on each panel of how to#make the fermented rice water for their hair.
So this is the loss of culture to tourism but at#the same time the women are making income from it.
