EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hong Kong. The people of the junks in the Hong Kong harbor" takes us back to the bustling streets of 1977 China Hong Kong. Through the lens of renowned photographer Quilici, Folco, we are transported to a time when life on these traditional Chinese boats, known as junks, was an integral part of daily existence. The image captures a vibrant scene in the heart of Hong Kong's iconic harbor. As our gaze wanders across the frame, we witness a harmonious chaos unfolding before our eyes. A multitude of junks gracefully glide through calm waters while their inhabitants go about their daily activities with unwavering determination. The composition skillfully showcases both human presence and architectural marvels that define this remarkable cityscape. Diligent workers can be seen engaged in various tasks; some meticulously repairing sails or fishing nets, others expertly navigating their vessels through narrow channels between towering skyscrapers that loom overhead. Quilici's masterful use of contrast and shadows adds depth and texture to this timeless photograph. The play between light and dark highlights not only the physical features but also reveals glimpses into each individual's story etched upon weathered faces. As we immerse ourselves further into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that this image is more than just a visual spectacle - it encapsulates an entire way of life unique to Hong Kong during those years gone by. It serves as a poignant reminder of how tradition intertwines with progress within one dynamic metropolis. In essence, Quilici's photograph offers us a glimpse into an era where simplicity coexisted alongside modernity amidst the ever-evolving landscape that is Hong Kong – forever preserving its rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
