Daniel Obasi, Photographer, Lagos

Description

A tall stilt walker dressed in a vibrant, multicolored patterned costume and an elaborate feathered headdress performs on a paved street. The stilts are wrapped in matching patterned fabric, elevating the performer high above the ground. A crowd of onlookers of various ages stands along the street watching the spectacle, with buildings and a balcony visible in the background under natural daylight. Photographer Daniel Obasi captures the scene with documentary sensibility, emphasizing the theatricality of the traditional performance within an everyday urban environment.
