EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a carnival reveller dressed as a witch (Kandelhexe) peers out of a window, offering us a glimpse into the enchanting world of traditional witches in the Black Forest village of Waldkirch, Germany. The image was captured on February 6,2016 by talented photographer Kai Pfaffenbach. As we observe this peculiar scene, it becomes evident that these witches are preparing for their highly anticipated "witches sabbath" performance. Dressed in elaborate costumes and surrounded by an air of mystery and folklore, they gather outside an old building to engage in their age-old traditions. The reveller's gaze directly at the camera adds an element of humor to the composition. With her blue attire and broomstick in hand, she embodies both fear and fascination simultaneously. Through the window frame, we catch sight of multiple traditional witches congregating under the night sky - an oddly captivating sight indeed. This photograph beautifully captures not only the creative use of costume but also provides insight into German folk culture. It transports us to a world where ancient rituals blend seamlessly with modern-day celebrations. Kai Pfaffenbach's skillful portrayal allows us to appreciate this moment frozen in time – one that showcases tradition meeting contemporary revelry amidst walls steeped in history. This image is truly emblematic of how cultural heritage continues to thrive through vibrant carnivals like these across different parts of our diverse world.
