EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Benches" we are transported back to the enchanting ancient city of Delphi in Greece. The year is 1987, and amidst the breathtaking sites, excavations, monuments, and complexes lies a woman seeking solace under her sun umbrella. Delphi, known for its rich history and archeological wonders, has long been a fascination for explorers and history enthusiasts alike. As we gaze upon this image captured by Filiberto Pittini from Alinari, our eyes are drawn to the juxtaposition between the ruins of an ancient civilization and the modern-day accessory that shields the woman from the scorching Greek sun. The vibrant colors of her umbrella stand out against the backdrop of weathered stones and crumbling structures. It serves as a reminder that even in such awe-inspiring surroundings, fashion and clothing can still make their mark on our experiences. As we delve deeper into this photograph's narrative, one cannot help but wonder about the woman herself. Is she a tourist taking respite from her exploration? Or perhaps an archaeologist studying these remarkable ruins? Regardless of her identity or purpose for being there, she adds life to this otherwise desolate scene. Pittini's composition skillfully captures both beauty and intrigue within his frame. The play between light and shadow creates depth while highlighting every intricate detail - from each stone bench to every fold in the woman's attire. "Benches" not only immortalizes a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on how objects like umbrellas can bridge gaps between different eras. This photograph reminds us that even centuries-old remnants can coexist harmoniously with contemporary elements - creating an everlasting connection between past civilizations and present-day humanity.
