Starring: Cara WALKER RAPU Original Music: Chris HONORAT Body Painting: Toni HUCKE and Moko MAI Coordinatrice: Maliko FARGEAS Air Transportation: LAN CHILE Special Thanks: Betty RAPU 'Rapa Nui' is the authentic name for 'Easter Island' where these photographs were created in one of the most sacred underground lava caves on the island. In ancient times the noble people would paint their bodies with different colored earth which is found in the cliffs on one beach on the island. 'Bene' the model was painted with this earth in the traditional manner by two of the island's leading artists Toni HUCKE and Moko MAI who have knowledge of the authentic traditions. 'Rapa Nui' is a magical place with an astounding history which is not fully understood even to this day although supposedly it was originally inhabited by red haired Caucasians from South America who were joined later by Polynesians from the Marquesas. The Caucasians were the Chiefs (Bird People) hence the reason the enormous statues the 'Moai' have red disks on their heads, representing the way they wrapped their red hair in those ancient times.
