Tí is the result of a journey that Koos Breukel (portrait photographer) and Roy Villevoye (artist) made to Tí, a remote village in the backwoods of Papua New Guinea where the Asmat people live.
Villevoye and Breukel photographed, each in their own way, all residents of Tí (about 150 in number).
Villevoye places people in their own landscape, outside, actually without evidence. Breukel uses a improvised daylight studio where he portrays the people out of their own environment, as if they come to the school photographer.

The book appears parallel with the exhibition at Foam Tí, photography museum Amsterdam, April/May 2013.
