EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Brava. Skinning of a large tiger shark (Somalia, 1972)" by Quilici, Folco, we are transported to the shores of Brava where an extraordinary scene unfolds before our eyes. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as a group of skilled fishermen meticulously skin a massive tiger shark that has been caught off the coast. The sheer size and power of the creature is awe-inspiring, its sleek body stretched out on the sandy beach like an ancient sea monster emerging from the depths. Every detail is vividly portrayed in this print from Alinari. The rough texture of the shark's skin contrasts with the smoothness of its exposed flesh, revealing both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. The intense concentration etched on each fisherman's face speaks volumes about their expertise and respect for nature's wonders. As we gaze at this remarkable composition, we cannot help but be drawn into the narrative it presents. It reminds us of humanity's age-old relationship with the ocean – one filled with danger, survival skills honed over generations, and profound reverence for these majestic creatures that roam beneath its surface. The date stamp places us firmly in 1972 Somalia; however, there is no need to mention commercial use or any specific company associated with this photograph. Instead, let us focus on appreciating how Quilici masterfully captured not only a significant cultural practice but also evoked emotions within viewers through his lens. This print invites contemplation about our place in nature's grand tapestry – reminding us that while humans may conquer mighty beasts like tigersharks momentarily for sustenance or livelihoods - it is crucial to maintain balance between exploitation and conservation so future generations can continue marveling at such magnificent creatures as well.
