Troi Anderson is a fine art, documentary, and commercial photographer based in Portland. He began his career working in film for Magnolia Pictures and later as a merchant marine sailing throughout Asia and the South Pacific. Over the past several years, Anderson has embarked on a process to discover and document the religious desire and its elemental expressions outside of Western thought. His most recent project, The Theatre of the Spirit, concerns the occult religious ceremony and ritual practice found in Venezuela and Haiti. He describes this work as bearing witness to a living strength and its intuitive vitality toward the mystery of life, rather than our contemporary rejection. His photographs aim to expose the viewer to a new vision that defies the rational — one whose foundation rests in the unknown. Spirit, ritual, and ceremony exist first from what, in Haitian Vodou, is called the Mystére. Its origins begin with great beauty, warmth, power, and embrace and are rooted in our own ancestry. Their flickering shadows and light still define and illuminate us in the expressive act toward that mystery of life.
