EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Beijing. High view of a working class neighborhood" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of China's capital city in 1969. Captured by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco, this image offers a unique perspective from above, allowing us to witness the daily life of a vibrant working-class neighborhood. From this elevated viewpoint, we are granted an expansive panorama that reveals the intricate web of narrow alleyways and tightly packed houses. The scene is alive with activity as people go about their daily routines - children playing in the streets, vendors selling their goods from small stalls, and residents engaging in conversation on doorsteps. The photograph beautifully captures both the charm and challenges faced by those living in this community. Despite its humble appearance, there is an undeniable sense of unity among its inhabitants who have created a close-knit society within these crowded quarters. As we study each detail meticulously captured by Quilici's lens, it becomes evident that this snapshot represents more than just a physical location; it encapsulates an era marked by resilience and determination. This working-class neighborhood stands as a testament to China's rich cultural heritage and serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit found within its people. Quilici's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural layout but also provides insight into everyday life during this period. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect upon our own communities' dynamics while fostering empathy for those whose stories may otherwise remain untold. In essence, this remarkable photograph transports us through time and space while celebrating Beijing's vibrant working-class neighborhoods – capturing history one frame at a time.
