Pan Walther (1921-1987) – Sara-la-Kȃli. Die Wallfahrt in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer
In the organizer's words:
His photographs of the pilgrimage in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer play a special role in Pan Walther's work. He frequently visited this place in the south of France from the 1950s onwards. Every year in May, Sinti and Roma gather there to pay homage to their patron saint Sara-la-Kȃli - Black Sara. His photographs still reflect the original character of this pilgrimage of Sinti and Roma from all over Europe, before it became a major tourist event due to the growing number of tourists. Pan Walther has obviously succeeded in gaining direct access to the people. His photographs not only depict the events and the protagonists involved, but also capture a special atmosphere in mystically romantic images that still fascinate today.
