  1. During a trip to Indonesia in 1983, German photographer Ursula Schultz-Dornburg discovered the houses of the Bugis people while on her way to the airport, returning from another research project.

    “We were making our way down the mountains and into the plains, and there, I suddenly saw these small, enchanting structures, planted like colored objects in a museum display. It was just amazing. The locals were as surprised and as happy as I was. It was just the lightness of these architectures, their colors coming alive with the slightest movement, billowing laundry, or a child in pink tank-top… And they smiled at me because they perceived my joy.”

    The 22 photographs reulted in the book Bugis Houses, Celebes
