Goromomo gorolo – The Narration of the Siberian Evenk People (Citadela 1996)

Evenk stories originated from the region around the rivers Podkamenna and Nizni Tunguzka, where the last nomads are living in taiga.

I tried to capture the difficult lifestyle of the nomads, how they are fighting against oil extraction and the consumer attitudes of the Western society that is coming to their region…

The Grandfather Oge – The Learning of Siberian Shaman (Eminent 2004)
|
|
Novel about the transformation of a common human into the healer of a tribe. Several inhabitants of the village Chemdalsk on the river Katanga told me the story about the grandfather Oge. Tungusian people called Oge „Haptay“ – „Wizard“, because he didn´t heal with a drum, he healed only with the help of spiritual worlds and herbaceous plants. Oge and other shamans couldn´t heal with drums because of the socialist regime prohibition.
