EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Beggar covered by a piece of white fabric, New Delhi" transports us back to the bustling streets of India's capital in 1965. The image captures a poignant moment that delves into the depths of psychological behavior and human psychology. In the center of the frame stands a beggar, concealed under a simple piece of white fabric. This drapery not only shields his naked body from prying eyes but also serves as a metaphorical barrier between him and society. It prompts us to question our own perceptions about handouts, parts of the body, nudity, and social status. The surrounding street scene reveals an urban landscape teeming with life - trees sway gently in the wind while vegetation flourishes amidst concrete structures. A rope hangs nearby, perhaps symbolizing both constraint and hope for those struggling on society's fringes. Through this portrait of an individual within Indian society, photographer Folco Quilici invites us to reflect upon broader themes such as population dynamics, nationality, anthropology, ethnography, and folklore. The indistinct figures in the background hint at Asiatic populations coexisting harmoniously yet remaining distant from one another. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image filled with physiological and psychological aspects, it evokes feelings of empathy and introspection. We are compelled to meditate on how societal norms shape our perception of others' circumstances. Quilici's masterful composition allows viewers to immerse themselves in this powerful visual narrative without any commercial intent or distractions. The timeless nature of this print ensures that it continues to resonate with audiences today as they contemplate their place within society and politics.
