EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the rocky houses in the Valley of Peristrema (Ihlara), located in Cappadocia, Turkey. Taken by photographer Filiberto Pittini in October 1988, this image transports us to a time and place where nature and architecture harmoniously coexist. The valley is renowned for its unique geological formations, with towering cliffs carved by centuries of wind and water erosion. Nestled within these rugged rocks are ancient cave dwellings that have been transformed into homes. These rocky houses stand as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability, blending seamlessly with their natural surroundings. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details of each dwelling. The rough-hewn facades reveal windows and doorways that seem almost organic, as if they were born from the very rock itself. Vegetation clings tenaciously to crevices and ledges, adding a touch of vibrant green against the earthy tones of stone. The landscape surrounding these rocky houses is equally breathtaking. A solitary tree stands tall amidst an otherwise barren terrain, providing shade and shelter for those who seek respite from the scorching sun. The vastness of Cappadocia's rocky areas stretches out before us like an open canvas waiting to be explored. In Pittini's masterful composition, we witness not only architectural marvels but also a profound connection between humanity and nature. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in seemingly inhospitable environments, life can flourish with resilience and creativity. Whether displayed on your wall or admired in a gallery setting, this print invites you to immerse yourself in the timeless allure of Cappadocia's Rocky Houses – an extraordinary testament to both human endeavor and Mother Nature's artistry.
